Cubs Infielder Alex Bregman’s Horse Wins at Churchill Downs, Then Gets Claimed by New Owners
Act of Parliament won its first race and earned $27,108, then was claimed by new owners in a blind draw, ending Alex Bregman’s ownership.
- On Thursday, Chicago Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman's horse, Act of Parliament, won a maiden claiming race at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, with teammates attending during their off day.
- Bregman Family Racing acquired the 3-year-old colt in August for $75,000 after he was initially purchased for $750,000 in 2025. The acquisition represented a significant markdown from the original price.
- With jockey Axel Concepcion aboard, Act of Parliament finished 3/4 of a length ahead in the $20,000 maiden race. Cubs pitcher Ryan Rolison and second baseman Pedro Ramirez attended in racing-themed costumes.
- Immediately following the victory, new owners claimed Act of Parliament for $20,000 via a random blind draw, ending Bregman's ownership of the colt. The claiming process is standard in maiden races.
- With an 85-68 record, the Cubs turn attention to a critical three-game set in Cincinnati beginning Friday to maintain their postseason standing amid a tight Wild Card race. These final games hold tremendous weight.
