Smile Help with Race Conditions

I need some help here. I am no expert and I thought I understood race conditions but this one confuses me. Below are the conditions for the last race at Monmouth if I read correctly you could not have won 2 races to be eligible with no other types of races excluded. So how could the # 7 horse Freedom for D L T have 4 would and be eligible. He won a maiden claimer 3 back and then in its last race won a N2L.

This also is not the first time I have seen this.

Olds Or Four Year Olds And Upward Which Have Never Won Two Races. Three Year Olds, 120 lbs.; Older, 124
lbs. Non-winners of a race at a mile or over since May 19 Allowed 3 lbs. Claiming Price $7,500, For Each $500
To $6,500 1 lb.

The restriction for never won two races is for 4 year olds and older only. There is no restriction as to how many races 3 year olds have won. Freedom for DLT is a 3 year old.

Thanks. Read the "Or" differently. When I go back and read it again slowly I see the restrictions on four-year-olds and up Thanks again
