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.
