One of the top jockeys in the country will wear your silks as the jockeys take on the horseman on the hardwood for the 13th annual contest pitting jockeys against horsemen.
The jockeys’ team, coached each year by Hall of Fame jockey Angel Cordero Jr., has included former NBA players Rashard Lewis and Avery Johnson.
Trainers Todd Pletcher and Kiaran McLaughlin coach the horsemen’s team and the always colorful Mitch Levites of the NYRA television department serves as the announcer.
Proceeds from this event serve to benefit signature programs of the NY Race Track Chaplaincy.
In addition to the action on the hardwood, there will be several raffles, promotional merchandise for sale and several other surprises.
