Lisa Lazarus, CEO of the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority, recently spoke with Adam Kluger of Run Fast Racing, who represents new racehorse owners, including Lil Wayne and Lil Yachty. She asked what inspired their involvement in our sport and how fresh perspectives can help carry racing forward. Check out the Q&A here:<\/p>\n
LL: As the founder of Run Fast Racing alongside stars like Lil Wayne, Rauw Alejandro and Lil Yachty, what has driven your passion for the sport? LL: Run Fast Racing has quickly celebrated multiple victories. What do these wins mean to you personally and for the future of your racing venture? LL: \u200bWith such swift early success, how has Run Fast Racing\u2019s strategy evolved since its launch\u2014and where do you see the biggest opportunities going forward in bringing celebrity energy to horse racing? Advertisement<\/p>\n LL: What are the biggest challenges\u2014and biggest rewards\u2014of bringing star-powered attention into a traditional sport like horse racing? LL: What advice would you offer someone curious about getting involved\u2014either by attending races or becoming an owner?<\/strong><\/p>\n AK:<\/strong> Find a great trainer that you can trust. I\u2019ve experienced some horrendous ones in the past. I don\u2019t want to mention any names, but just know that if we onboard Rihanna, she won\u2019t have to worry about knowing any trainers from the old neighborhood.<\/p>\n LL: <\/strong> Looking ahead, how do you envision the role of Run Fast Racing in shaping how the next generation engages with horse racing?<\/strong><\/p>\n AK:<\/strong> We are going to save the sport. Quote me on that. No ego here; just passion. We\u2019re actually going to be the first company that has AI software that goes on the back of the horses. Before the race, it\u2019ll tell you if something\u2019s wrong internally with them. We hope that\u2019ll make a change.<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by Paulick Report<\/a> on Sep 23, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.

AK: <\/strong>I\u2019ve been a fan of the sport for over 20 years, and honestly my passion for the sport is led by love; my passion for what I\u2019m building is due to exasperation. The sport has unfortunately been pigeonholed into a category that doesn\u2019t properly reflect how amazing and special it truly is due to a variety of factors that I don\u2019t care to dwell on. I am laser focused on fixing this and confident in our long-term strategy.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>
AK:<\/strong> Wins are great! For us, the early wins are even more important as it allows us to spread the messaging to a larger audience. I believe we\u2019re 6-for-11 in the money, with 4 wins, right now, which is amazing. Team O\u2019Neill are rockstars.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>
AK:<\/strong> Our strategy has remained the same: short steps, long vision. Many more A-Listers are coming on board in the upcoming months, and I don\u2019t want to peel the curtain back too much right now, but just know what we\u2019re doing as far as celebrities owning horses is just the tip of the iceberg and a very small part of our two-year plan.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>
AK: The biggest challenge has been getting them over the hump and past the stigma of what horse racing means to the average person in the U.S. right now. I hate to say it, but it isn\u2019t great stuff\u2026 Once we get them over the hump, and they experience it, the stigma is gone and the narrative is reshaped. It\u2019s a matter of rinse and repeat in these early stages. A Run Fast Racing win is a win for the entire horse racing industry. With each win, we\u2019re getting a celebrity (and some of their fanbase) over that hump. We\u2019re playing the long game right now, but little wins lead to big victories, and once we hit that green button in 2026 and throw fuel on the fire, it\u2019s on.<\/p>\n
