Just one comment.

I am not aware of any condition for NW26M with an "other than" sipulation.
"Other than" are words that are found in either Allowance races or Allowance Optional Claiming races.

However, there is an operative phrase connected with these types of conditions that indicate races won a some lower claiming price are excluded. This is indicated in the condition abbreviation by an "X" and the end. i.e.- NW26MX As an example...



As you can see, this is a $7,500 claiming race, but races won where the horse was entered for $5,000 or less do not count. A horse may have won 5 races at $5,000 or less and still be eligible for this race.
