Claimbox: May Mid-Atlantic claiming stats

Mid-Atlantic claiming activity jumped nearly 50 percent in May, with 266 horses changing hands via the claimbox — up from 178 in April.

The value of those claims rose more than 80 percent, to $3,145,500 from $1,730,500.  That was also 50 percent higher than March, previously the busiest month in 2015.

The increase in claiming activity came about largely because two tracks which did not run in April — Delaware Park and, more importantly, Monmouth Park — began their seasons in May.  Those two tracks combined to account for 71 claims (65 at Monmouth) and more than $1.1 million in claiming activity.

The region’s busiest track was Parx Racing.  A total of 84 horses were claimed at the Bensalem oval, and they were worth a total of $967,000 (average: $11,512).  Despite racing just two days a week in May, and opening its season on May 9, Monmouth was second in claiming activity, with 65 horses claimed, and first in gross value of the horses ($1,044,000) and average value ($16,062).  Pimlico saw 64 horses claimed, with Penn National (28), Charles Town (19), and Delaware (6) rounding out the active schedule.
