Claiming Crown Preview races will carry 30% owner bonus
The nine starter allowance events that make up the $400,000 Claiming Crown Preview Oct. 2 at Pimlico Race Course will each carry the 30% owner bonus for Maryland-breds typically awarded for non-stakes at Maryland racetracks.
The Maryland Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association Board of Directors on Sept.15 discussed the Claiming Crown Preview races, which are listed in the Pimlico condition book as starter allowances. The 30% owner bonus designation is not listed in the condition book. The MTHA Board then voted unanimously to pay the bonuses based on purse earnings by Maryland-bred horses that finish first, second, or third.
