It's a jump race (the weights should have been a tip off).
Not unusual to see jump races written for 4 up, sometimes 5 and up. However it is unusual to see a race that short over the smaller NSA portable fences to be restricted to 5up. Usually 5up is for longer distances over the bigger fences.

The Grand National is for 6 and up.

I realized it was over jumps, the distance made that clear, but Saratoga isn't even supposed to be open till Friday. Turns out buried in their general info page is a blurb about a non-wagering preview day. The results of those races didn't make it to the Equibase results though. But the entries did. If you can't bet, they don't care who wins??

I've noticed that steeplechase charts can take longer to show up - sometimes a couple days.
