Claiming Partnership

Claiming races offer one of the smartest and most active ways to enter Thoroughbred ownership. Rather than waiting months or years for a young horse to develop, claiming allows our partners to participate in live NYRA racing almost immediately.

Because every horse in a claiming race is listed at a public price, we operate in a transparent marketplace where value is clear and discipline matters. This structure helps reduce uncertainty while allowing us to target horses that are fit, race-ready, and proven.

With the right placement and management, a well-chosen claim can improve in performance, competitiveness, and purse potential under expert training.

Most importantly, claiming delivers what our partners value most: real ownership experience — paddock access, barn visits, and the excitement of race day on the NYRA circuit.
