The total payment is only $100 per trainer, not per horse. Once that payment is made, the trainer is then eligible to nominate any number of horses to the Claiming Crown via regular nominations on or before November 9 for 0.2% of the race purse. If a trainer is not nominated, then supplemental nominations are 5% of the purse, due at the time of entry on November 28.
For more information, including the trainer nomination form and a complete list of races and conditions, visit www.claimingcrown.com, or read an interview with Gulfstream Park Racing Secretary Dan Bork where he discusses the upcoming Claiming Crown and the nomination process.
