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.
