Jockey Club Gold Cup
In 2021 the Jockey Club Gold Cup will be moved to Saratoga Race Course for the first time in its history. The $1 million race will be run on closing weekend and will take the place of the Woodward Stakes, which will be relocated to Belmont Park after being run in Saratoga for 15 years. NYRA management believes the Jockey Club Gold Cup - run at the same distance as the Breeders' Cup Classic - will be better positioned on the racing calendar with an eight week gap between the two races.
