Columbus, OH – The 2026 Stakes Guide, the industry’s most comprehensive collection of race conditions, payment schedules and race schedules, is available online at http://horsemen.ustrotting.com/stakes/.
With just over 200 sets of conditions posted covering the majority of stakes and early and late closers in North America, every major jurisdiction in the U.S. is covered, plus multiple Canadian provinces. Payments are due starting February 15 for many 3-year-old and some 2-year-old races.
The Feature Races webpage defaults to races held in the next 30 days, but is searchable by date as well as by track. This page has the most up-to-date events, including races that are re-scheduled from the previously printed Event Guide schedule, and will be updated throughout the year.
Printed copies of both the Conditions Guide and Event Guide are available to be purchased through a USTA MyAccount (available to both members and non-members); once logged in select “Click here to view products available from the USTA Store.”
Orders can also be placed by calling Member Services Monday-Friday 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. at 877-800-USTA. The cost to purchase a printed edition of the Conditions Guide is $25, while the Event Guide is $15; prices include standard shipping within the U.S.
The Stakes Calendar, which is scheduled to go to print mid-February with an in-hand date before March 1, is still available for pre-order. The large format 11×14 calendar runs March 2026 – March 2027 and includes race dates, sale dates, important USTA deadlines and office closed dates. The price for a Stakes Calendar is also $15.
