in jail

in jail
A restriction applied to a 'claimed' (bought) horse. Most horse racing in the US run in claiming races. This means the horses are for sale each time they run. Most states control, with a restriction, how claimed horses can be entered after the claim (after it is sold/bought). This restriction is called "jail time" or being "in jail". In most states, this restriction requires that if you run the 'claimed' horse back in the first 30 days of ownership he must be entered for a claiming price 25% higher than the claim price you paid for. Example: you claim (buy) a horse for $10,000.00 on June 1st, if you run this horse before July 1st, you must step it up in class to $12,500.00. After 30 days or on July 1st (and thereafter), the horse is 'out of jail' and you can race this horse at whatever level you wish.
