The National Thoroughbred League (NTL) has revealed the schedule for the 2025 season with races throughout the summer including Preakness Week festivities and during the lucrative Kentucky Downs meet, the group announced Monday morning.

The four dates are May 10 at Pimlico for 'The Baltimore Cup'; June 15 at Parx for 'The Philadelphia Cup'; July 19 at Fairmont Park for 'The St. Louis Cup'; and Aug. 31 at Kentucky Downs for 'The Nashville Cup'. Dozens of Thoroughbreds have been nominated to compete for the 10 NTL teams across the year, and those ten teams will participate in a draft in mid-April.

A successful second season saw record attendance and betting records, and the 2025 campaign will expand to four race weekends and boast over $2.5-million in prize purses.

“Our expanded race schedule and addition of dedicated team horses furthers our mission of creating an innovative new format to engage the next generation of horse racing fans,” said Randall Lane, co-founder of the NTL.
