A race exclusively for horses that have never won a race. A horse is said to have “broke his maiden” when he wins, and must progress into one of the other types of races described below. The most common of all races. A race where owners can put their horses up for sale for a specified amount prior to the running of the race. Once the race begins, a claimed horse becomes the property of the new owner though purse money from the race goes to the former owner. One step above claiming races. Horses are not for sale in allowance races. Horses competing in allowance races are usually faster than horses competing in claiming races, and are generally being prepared to compete in better stakes events. A race for which the racing secretary has assigned weights after evaluating each entrant’s past performances. The idea is to burden the best horses in the field with the most weight, which would theoretically improve the chances of the less-accomplished entrants. The highest class of race reserved for the best horses. Owners typically pay an entry fee to nominate, enter, and run their horses. The Kentucky Derby is an example of one of America’s greatest stakes races.About the Author:

• Bonus on your deposits (restrictions apply)
• No tax forms to fill out
• Since you are betting from home, you automatically save money on parking or entrance fees to the racetrack
• Simultaneous access to dozens of tracks across North America
