You have to be a licensed owner for the state that you are claiming in. In addition, you have to have a trainer claim for you.

Thanks for the info. Do they ever have people just claiming these horses to get them off of the track?

Witch is right...In Illinois it is like $25 for an owners license or something, and then you get a trainer and he 'drops a slip' in for you at least 10 minutes to post

All the time, there are farms that claim horses and retire them right away, there are also people that claim horses and then send them to a retirement farm

That's good to know... thanks, Tom.

I'd love to be able to do that one of these days.
