Why Fair Hill ?

One of North America's premier training facilities, Fair Hill offers trainers excellent year-round accomodations. It is Situated on 350 acres of beautiful Maryland countryside, the center adjoins the 5,600 acre Fair Hill Preserve. There are 14 secluded barns, easy access to the two training tracks, a turf track and cross-country areas. This environment is essential for developing the mental health of the race horse as it is prepared for a busy racing campaign.

The one mile dirt track with 10% banked turns and the 7/8 mile wood-fiber track with its excellent shock absorbing qualities provide exceptionally safe, all-weather alternative training surfaces. This is of particular importance for young horses receiving their early education (reduces the likelyhood of bucked shins etc.) and older horses needing a kinder surface.

Fair Hill is located just 10 minutes from I 95, 1 hour South of Philadelphia, and 1 hour North of Baltimore, Fair Hill horses frequently run at the following racetracks:

Aqueduct, Belmont, Monmouth, Laurel, Pimlico, Delaware, Philadelphia Park and Penn National

Tim first arrived at Fair Hill in 1987 (its first year) and is therefore fully aware of how to really take advantage of this wonderful environment.
