🐎 Ring the Bell In Hand *
🔔 The Ring the Bell In-Hand class, which will be the ONLY discipline able to be added as a third discipline and will allow any OTTB that has ever had a career start at one or more of the tracks that host the Ring the Bell program, which include Tampa Bay Downs, Inc. (FL), Oaklawn Hot Springs (AR), Prairie Meadows Casino, Racetrack & Hotel (IA), Lone Star Park (TX), and Sam Houston Race Park (TX). This discipline will be a simple In Hand class and is able to be entered alone (ship in/stall fees apply), as a second discipline, or as the only discipline able to be added as a third for the weekend.
