The two added are Trainers – Most Starts (less than 16 horses) and Trainers – Most Wins (less than 16 horses). They carry a prize of $100,000 and $200,000, respectively.
The revised categories for the 2021 BetMakers Quarterly Championship are listed below:

The Quarterly Championships are as follows: January to March; April to June; July to September, and October – December.
