Florida Partnership

Vastly different from a yearling or 2-year-old partnership where we acquire a young unproven horse and then develop it, the claiming partnership is for those that have an interest in instant immediate action. A claimed horse can be running back as quickly as a few weeks for the new partners.

We consulted with our #1 trainer, Steve Klesaris. Steve is fairly active in the claiming game and he frequently claims horses for himself. We've known him for 17 years and he has partnered with us on many horses over the years. He personally likes to claim around the $20,000 level in Florida. If one can be improved to an Allowance horse, the purses can be over $40,000.

In claiming races the racetrack requires that the cash be in the bookkeeper's account BEFORE the claim slip can be dropped. As such we are required to raise the capital in advance of the claim.
