significant changes to juvenile racing at Calder Race Course. One of the biggest changes being made is the scheduling of the races. Traditionally the last leg of both the colt and the filly races have been held very near or on the date of the
Breeder's Cup World Championship which often forced trainers to decide between going to the Breeder's Cup and the Florida Stallion Stakes. "The agreement calls for the legs to be scheduled at least three weeks apart, including the time between the final legs and the Breeders’ Cup." Richard Hancock, executive vice president of the FTBOA, hopes that this will encourage Florida trainers to use the races a preparatory events to get their horses ready to compete in the Breeder’s Cup.
