Prior to the 2016 harness racing season, Century Downs Racetrack and Casino is launching its Century Downs Racing Club.

The new ownership program will allows fans easy access to horse ownership and establish deeper connections the sport.

Participants will become shareholders in the Century Downs Racing Club and have partial ownership of two racehorses for the entirety of the 2016 season.

Century Downs says they plan to offer 100 shares this season which can be claimed with a one-time $250 membership fee.

The fee covers all training and extra expenses for the racehorses the shareholder owns, with the owner earning profit per share at the end of the 2016 Standardbred season at the racetrack.

Century Downs is planning on opening the Racing Club on April 1st or once all 100 shares have been sold.
