Run Fast Racing galloped into the winner’s circle, snatching the Grade I, $400,000 Bing Crosby Stakes on Saturday, July 25, 2026, at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. Their horse, *Listenupchance*, delivered the massive win, with Adam Kluger and Shane O’Neill celebrating in the winner’s circle. This isn’t just about a big race payout, though. What Run Fast Racing is doing with its unique concept could literally change the game for Thoroughbred racing, pulling it back into the public eye.
Bringing the Sport of Kings Back to the People
For years, Thoroughbred racing, despite its rich history and major events like the Kentucky Derby, has seen its public interest dwindle. It used to be a top-three sport in this country, but lately, it’s felt like a high-roller’s game, pushing away the everyday fan. Run Fast Racing is coming in hot to flip that script, cultivating tradition while still eyeing modern culture. They are embracing the idea that while it can be for “high rollers,” there are also amazing stories of lower-cost champions like California Chrome and Mystik Dan, proving anyone can climb that mountain. Their whole mission is about increasing exposure for the sport, not trying to reinvent it, but rather reintroduce it to the masses.
Adam Kluger’s 21st-Century Twist on Ownership
This isn’t some brand-new idea out of nowhere. Back in 1969, William (Cot) Campbell pioneered group ownership with Dogwood Stables, a concept that led to wins in the Preakness and Belmont Stakes. Run Fast Racing has taken that blueprint and given it a 21st-century facelift, thanks to advertising executive and music manager Adam Kluger. The man who has helped artists win 23 Grammy Awards and was named one of Forbes’ top 30 most influential people in music in 2012 is now letting anyone co-own horses with music icons like Lil Wayne, Rauw Alejandro, and Lil Yachty. Kluger says subscribers get all the benefits of ownership without any of the headaches, co-owning every horse in their stable on a simple month-to-month deal. And when those horses win, everyone gets paid. It’s that simple!
Since launching in 2025, Run Fast Racing has absolutely crushed it, maintaining a phenomenal 91% of their subscribers. These celebrities have totally fallen for the sport and the concept, proving Kluger’s vision is a winner. This organization is putting the “sport of kings” back within reach for anyone, making it an adrenaline rush for everyone involved.
