The annual jockeys versus horsemen charity basketball game, which benefits programs of the New York Race Track Chaplaincy, will be played Thursday, Aug. 1 at the YMCA in Saratoga. Tipoff is at 6:30 p.m.
The jockeys' team is coached by Angel Cordero, Jr., each year and trainers Todd Pletcher and Kiaran McLaughlin coach the horsemen. NYRA's Mitch Levites will serve as the announcer.
In addition, the event will feature several raffles and promotional merchandise for sale.
“Every year this game enables fans to see some of their favorite jockeys and trainers in a fun and relaxed atmosphere,” said Humberto Chavez, the New York chaplain. “Besides all the fun the fans and players have, we are raising money for a great cause.”
