One day. Nine championship races. And it now touches every corner of the sport. 👇👇The $1.2 million Claiming Crown returns to Churchill Downs this Saturday, Nov. 14, and it’s grown into much more than a race day:💚 For a cause: New official charity partner the Retired Racehorse Project, with the Claiming Crown Pledge inviting owners, trainers and jockeys to share purse earnings to fund second careers.🎯 For handicappers: The TwinSpires Claiming Crown NHC Qualifier puts at least two seats to the 2027 National Horseplayers Championship in Las Vegas on the line. Signups are open now on TwinSpires.com.💰 For bettors: 101 horses in nine races, averaging more than 11 per field. It’s the deepest card in America that day.🤝 For horsemen, owners & fans: A national stage for the claimers who turned into stars in their barns, and a day the whole industry turns out for.🐎 And for the horses: The blue-collar backbone of racing gets its turn in the spotlight. Concrete Glory is going for a historic third Claiming Crown win, and Kerness K arrives on an 11-race win streak.This is what it’s about.📖 Read the full story: claimingcrown.com/saturdays-claiming-crown-this-is-what-its-about/#ClaimingCrown #ChurchillDowns #NHC #RetiredRacehorseProject #HorseRacing #Thoroughbreds ...
