It is important to read the ENTIRE condition as they can be quite different, from non-winners of 2 races lifetime to Non-winners of a race other than maiden or claiming or non-winners of a race in a year or more.
Also, there are varying claiming price restrictions, meaning a horse must have started for "X" claiming price in order to be eligible.
I have listed a few conditions for "SA" races below.
SA = "STARTER ALLOWANCE"

Non-winners of a race since March 29 Allowed 3 Lbs. (Claiming races for $10,000 or less not considered in estimating allowances) (Preference to Highest Earnings in 2011-2012). Five And One Half Furlongs.

STARTER ALLOWANCE $16,000
