A claiming race means that a horse may be "claimed" by another owner/trainer for the stated claiming price for that race. The claim takes place before the race is run. The new owner must take possesion of the horse after the race is over. This prevents an owner/trainer from putting a realy good horse against lower quality horses. Nobody wants to get $5,000 for a horse worth $20,000.

Horses, by their nature, are social animals. A racetrack with crowd noise, other horses, etc, can make a horse nervous. The other horse (known as an outrider pony or simply a pony) serves to keep the horse calm as he or she heads toward the gate.
