CLAIMS ON RECORD PACE IN 2019
Claiming activity remains brisk at Emerald Downs in 2019.
In fact, the track is on pace for a record year in both number of claims and aggregate dollars spent on claims. With the 67-day meet not yet at its halfway point, there already have been 116 claims for a total of $965,000, meaning Emerald Downs is on pace for $2,000,000 worth of claims in 2019.
The owner/trainer combinations of Chad Christensen and Frank Lucarelli and John Parker and Candi Cryderman have been busiest at the claim box. Christensen and Lucarelli have claimed 17 horses for an aggregate $232,750 while Parker and Cryderman have haltered 12 runners for $77,500.
Mike Man’s Gold
Remarkably, 9-year-old gelding Mike Man’s Gold has been claimed three straight starts–$15,000, $25,000 and $25,000. With his victory last week, Mike Man’s Gold tied West Seattle Boy’s track record of 21 wins.
