Warhorse Incentive Fund

The Warhorse Incentive Fund is a LOPE initiative created to encourage ownership of warhorses (and horsemanship education). Our goal is to create incentives for people to purchase and retrain warhorses directly from the track, while providing support and community for new warhorse owners.

Retraining

If you purchase a warhorse from the track (see definition below), you can be eligible for incentives. Slots are limited to 10 horses (so apply quickly after you acquire your warhorse).

Rules

  • Warhorses must be purchased between Oct 2022 and April 2023
  • Must be off track with less than 15 post-track rides at time of purchase
  • Our definition of warhorse is combination of the following:
    • Retired from racing at older age (7 yo and above)
    • Ran in 50 or more races
    • $100K and over in winnings

Note: If your horse is 7 yo with 48 races and $100K in earnings, he will meet our definition. If your horse is 4 years old, ran 10 times and won over $100K, he won’t meet our definition. We predispose toward horses who ran till later age. But if your horse is 6 yo, ran 50 times and has $100K in earnings, he will meet our definition.
