Run Fast Racing blends celebrity co-ownership with traditional horse racing

Adam Kluger, known for his work in the music industry, founded Run Fast Racing to democratize thoroughbred ownership by linking fans with high-profile musicians. Subscribers join on a flexible basis and receive a proportional interest in each of the stable’s 19 horses, without long-term contracts. The concept echoes the 1969 group-ownership model pioneered by William (Cot) Campbell’s Dogwood Stables.

Since its 2025 launch, the company has retained 91% of its clientele and attracted celebrity partners including Lil Wayne, Rauw Alejandro and Lil Yachty. The stable’s recent triumph came when Listenupshance, bought for $30,000, won the Grade 1 Bing Crosby Stakes at Del Mar, earning $240,000 and qualifying for the Breeders’ Cup Sprint at Keeneland on October 31. Trainer Doug O’Neill hailed the initiative as a “godsend” for horse racing, emphasizing its potential to broaden the sport’s appeal. Kluger plans to expand the operation to New York and Kentucky in the near future.
