The NTL Competition
The National Thoroughbred League (NTL) delivers a high-energy event unlike anything else in horse racing. Each Cup features three races, with all 10 teams entering one horse from their roster per race. The entire competition wraps in under three hours, complete with fast-paced racing and entertaining moments between races. Distances range from six furlongs to one mile on dirt and turf, with both colts and fillies competing.
