What is Claiming?

Post by The Steward »

Claiming is when you buy another owner's horse out of a race. There are different levels of claiming races, typically from $5,000 - $100,000. These price levels, or claiming tags, are the sales prices of the horses in the race. When you place a claim, you are trying to buy the horse. If no one else placed a claim, the horse is yours once the race is over. If others tried to claim the horse, then the "winner" of the horse is randomly selected by the computer.

When you put a horse in a claiming race, the horse has a better chance to win, however, another trainer might claim the horse from you. You will receive the money of the claiming price but will have lost the horse.
