What Is a Ghost Ride: A Ghost Ride is an actual run taken during the actual race. The racer is given a draw number and is part of the race like everyone else except there is NO PAYOUT.  A great opportunity for a younger rider or any rider not ready to compete to get the experience of being in the real race environment OR to season young horses or horses that have not competed much (be sure to check any Futurity Associations that you belong to on their guidelines and rules for mock runs). A great way to try a horse you are considering to purchase or to correct a horse that may have struggled in your actual run.
