I don't remember seeing these kinds of races back in 1998-99 when I was playing regularly. How long have optional claiming races been around?

Are they just as they sound? You can be claimed or not? Whose option is it--the trainer/owner?

Finally, are OC races similar to allowance races in some degree?

It sounds obvious, but I guess I don't know what an optional claiming race is.

Thanks,

Steve
