Run Fast Racing Wins Twice at Del Mar Opening Weekend 2026

By Sunday night, the champagne had been opened twice.

Del Mar began its 2026 summer meet on Friday, July 17. For Run Fast Racing, opening weekend became more than a return to one of California's most iconic tracks. It became a live demonstration of what happens when ownership, technology, and culture meet at full speed.

Two Run Fast horses won on Sunday. Eligible members received app payments connected to the results. Attending co owners entered the winner's circle twice. Then came two champagne celebrations inside the Champions Room.

The old sport suddenly felt very new.

Che opens the day for Run Fast Racing

The first victory arrived in Sunday's fourth race. Che (IRE), ridden by Kazushi Kimura and trained by Doug O'Neill, won the one mile dirt race after breaking from post seven. The result is recorded in Del Mar's official July 19 results.

For the people following through the Run Fast Racing app, this was not just another result on a screen. It was a horse in their stable crossing the line first at Del Mar. The notification hit. Eligible app payments followed. Then the owners moved toward the winner's circle.

That is the difference between following a race and belonging to it.

Ah Jeez makes it two

The day was not finished.

Ah Jeez returned in the final race, a turf contest at one mile and one sixteenth. With Emisael Jaramillo aboard for trainer Doug O'Neill, Ah Jeez delivered Run Fast's second victory of the afternoon.

One win can make a weekend. Two wins create a moment.

For the Run Fast co owners attending at Del Mar, it meant another eligible member payment, another winner's circle appearance, and another champagne toast in the Champions Room. They did not have to imagine what racehorse ownership might feel like someday. They experienced it twice in a single afternoon.

Not from the crowd. From inside the story.

Doug O'Neill delivered when the gates opened

Both Sunday winners came from the barn of Doug O'Neill, one of the most recognizable trainers in American Thoroughbred racing. Different horses. Different surfaces. Different jockeys. The same trainer sending both out ready to win on Del Mar's opening Sunday.

Che handled the dirt. Ah Jeez handled the turf. Together, they gave the Run Fast stable the kind of day ownership groups chase all season.

Adam Kluger built the entrance

Run Fast Racing founder Adam Kluger came into the sport through the worlds of music, entertainment, and culture. His idea was direct: horse racing already had the history, emotion, and spectacle. What it needed was a new entrance.

Run Fast built that entrance through a mobile app. Members can follow a growing stable, receive updates, find qualifying race day events, and receive eligible promotional payments connected to designated race results. The experience turns a horse's name into a story people can follow from the barn to the starting gate.

At Del Mar, Kluger's model became tangible. An alert on a phone became a walk into the winner's circle. A horse in the stable became a winner by the Pacific. A membership became a champagne toast with the people who had followed every step.

Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty, and Rauw Alejandro are part of the stable

Run Fast co owners join a stable alongside celebrity partners Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty, and Rauw Alejandro. Their involvement connects Thoroughbred racing to audiences far beyond the sport's traditional base while keeping the horses and the competition at the center.

The names matter. The access matters more.

Run Fast is not asking a new generation to admire racing from a distance. It is inviting people to learn the stable, follow the entries, show up for race day, and experience what happens after a win.

RARE access, now at the racetrack

RARE has always been about knowing where to be and how to enter the right room.

At Del Mar, that room was on the owners' side of the track. The experience carried the same energy that defines a great RARE night: elevated access, a curated crowd, and no distance between the guest and the moment.

Only this time, the main event was not behind a velvet rope. It was thundering toward the finish line.

This is what the next generation of racing looks like

Horse racing will always have history, ritual, and tradition. Those are part of its power. But tradition does not have to mean exclusion.

Run Fast is showing how technology, entertainment, and shared ownership can bring a new audience into the sport without taking away what makes race day special. Members still study the horses, feel the tension before the gate opens, and wait through every impossible second of the stretch. They simply experience it with a different level of connection.

Opening weekend ended with Che and Ah Jeez in first place and Run Fast's attending co owners exactly where they came to be: inside the winner's circle.
