Why the horses which have won previously is stakes, allowance, claiming are allowed to run in maiden special weight and maiden claiming races?
\nAccording to my understanding, maiden race is an event for horses that have not won a race.
\nWhen I was exploring the data, I found that horses won previously are allowed to race in maiden races
\nExample: We can see that program_number '4' has won races before and was allow participate in maiden races on 25th Jan, 02nd Feb and 8th Feb.

Because a horse doesn't receive the same program number in each race (the confusion comes because you think the horse is identified by program number, but this is not the case) The program number typically refers to the number of stall assigned to a horse (but there are some exceptions to the rule, see this thread). For information on the horses' identities, see this thread
