As the live Finger lakes season is winding down, the racing secretary is likely carding races for specific horses, knowing full well in advance of when the condition gook is published that there are at least 5 that qualify for that particular race. Doing favours for specific trainers, making sure a card of races fills and attempting not to end up with uncompetitive boat races. The futher (comical) qualifications could have been specified as: '...whose names are, or whose trainers names are: ...'

I believe racing secretaries do this all the time: card race conditions to get certain horses to draw in. This racing secretary seems to have a bit of a sense of humour, or is getting desperate.
