Beginning with the September Meet, Churchill Downs has established new “house rules” for claiming horses, the Louisville racetrack said in a release Thursday afternoon.
The licensed trainer for claimant must have made a start at the current meet or within the state of Kentucky since July 7, which was the start of the Ellis Park meet.
Also, a claimed horse may not race outside of Kentucky for 60 days following the date of the end of the meet during the which the horse was claimed or Jan. 1, 2024, whichever is first to occur.
Additionally, the claimant or licensed trainer representing the claimant must have a signed Claiming Agreement on file with the Churchill Downs racing office prior to submitting a claim.
