Straight from the horse’s mouth! Run Fast Racing founder Adam Kluger sat down with ET ahead of his horse racing event in Del Mar, California, on Saturday, July 25, to share how people can buy into a racehorse ownership group alongside Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty, and more.
Kluger launched the venture after discovering horse racing as a teenager.
“I started to love it when I was around 16 years old. I used to sneak into the track in Tampa with my best friend to bet on the races. Once I got a bit older and learned all that goes into it, the beauty of it all was very evident,” he shares.
“I’m a huge sports guy, and I can confidently say no live sporting event is more fun than horse racing as an owner. It’s an unreal experience,” the entrepreneur adds.
Memberships start at $100 a month and include owners box privileges, behind-the-scenes barn visits, voting rights on key stable decisions, and Direct Pay.
“Del Mar is an amazing experience. The entire meet is a party. … There is nothing better. … All Run Fast Racing users get free entry and access into the Run Fast Racing owners lounge on the 3rd floor. Not to mention hopefully a few trips into the winners’ circle,” he says.
Bringing A-list talent into the fold was a natural fit for Kluger, who previously worked in artist management and partnerships with Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, and Beyoncé.
“Anyone that isn’t a multi-millionaire has historically been boxed out. We decided we didn’t like that and wanted to make it accessible to everyone,” the CEO explains.
“Celebrities, much like anyone else, go to the racetrack once, experience it, and immediately fall in love. Not to mention the fact that the paydays are very good,” Kluger quips.
