NBA Hall of Famer Julius Erving is among the newest investors to join the National Thoroughbred League, a first-of-its-kind horse racing organization, ahead of its second season.

EXCLUSIVE: Horse racing is being reimagined by the National Thoroughbred League , and NBA Hall of Famer Julius Erving is among the latest investors in the first-of-its-kind organization. The NTL announced Thursday that Erving, as well as Country Music Hall of Famer Tanya Tucker, are new team owners ahead of its second season, which will see an expansion from six franchises to 10. Erving will be the owner of the Philadelphia Stallions, while Tucker will own the Nashville Dreams.

That gives us a differentiation," Lane said. Erving, who became a Philadelphia legend during his time with the 76ers, understands more than most how much the "City of Brotherly Love" rallies around a team, which is why he is confident the NTL will do well in his city. The Philadelphia Cup will be the second of three races this upcoming season in the NTL, as it is set for Oct. 19 at Parx Racing. However, these NTL events are not just a weekend for racing.
