Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 23, 2022 Journalists Posted March 23, 2022 The New York Claiming Championship series returns for the seventh year on Saturday at Aqueduct Racetrack with 10 starter stakes worth $620,000. The New York Claiming Championship is open to horses which have started for a prescribed claiming price in 2021-22. The 10-race series, each named after some of the most popular claiming horses to run at the Big A, features distances ranging from six furlongs to 1 3/8 miles. A total of 93 horses were entered across the 10 races. Robert Falcone, Jr. will saddle four starters on the lucrative card. “Days like this are important,” Falcone, Jr. said. “The claiming rank and allowance horses make up the race cards day in and day out. It's good to have a day for them. They are all really nice horses, but not every horse can be a million-dollar horse. It's nice for them to get a shot to run in a starter stake. These are the types of horses who make the cards go each day.” The post New York Claiming Championship Series Returns Saturday appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
