Contest Notes
| New Draft Format for 2025 |
|---|
| Beginning with RTTBC25, an additional draft has been added to place more emphasis on the Saratoga meeting. Instead of 6 Supplemental Drafts (5x5 Horses and 1x3 Horses), there will be 7 Supplemental Drafts of 4 Horses. This allows for more timely drafts during the Saratoga meeting. |
| Suspended Trainers, Jockeys |
| Please be aware of any trainers or jockeys who may be currently serving suspensions. These are usually fluid situations and involve court rulings and appeals in multiple jurisdictions. |
