Do you know what that 3X means ?

Bill,
Actually, today's condition is the following:
This would look like "NW3L".
Now, compare this to a condition that will be coming up on May 12th, which is:
I couldn't find the "exact" condition I was looking for, which was, "which have started for a claiming price of "X" or less and which have never won three races other than maiden, claiming, etc", so I had to settle for "non winners of a race other than,etc", which will look like "NW1X".
If the condition was , in fact, as I type it above, it would be represented by "NW3X", just like you would find in an ALLOWANCE or OPTIONAL CLAIMING race.
So there is a big difference between NW3L and NW3X, as you already know.
OK, where I am stumped is, the 9th race on April 16th.
The result chart shows the following:
As you can see, the full condition is not there, but they do show NW3X, so I am a little confused on this one myself. I have it as a NW2L condition.
Just keep in mind that Starter Allowance races come with a variety of conditions. Aside from the stated claiming price, the rest of the condition could be;
NW2L
NW3L
NW4L
NW1X
NW2X
NW3X
Sometimes they add a second condition, like the upcoming race on 5.12.13. Not only can a horse qualify on the NW1X part of the condition, but it can also qualify by having NOT won 4 races lifetime.
Sometimes it just says "which have started for "X" claiming price or less in 2012-2013" and other varieties along that line WITHOUT any other condition.
Remember, a racing secretary can make up just about any condition he wants to make up for the benefit of filling races for the horses stabled on his grounds.
