FACILITIES
|
The Fair Hill Training Center has two unique racetracks. We have customized our maintenance with up to date equipment to ensure the best possible track conditions at all times. Our wide one-mile dirt track has 10% banked turns and a scientifically formulated cushion and base designed |
We have a break for harrowing on the dirt track each morning to enable trainers to breeze horses over a smooth surface later in the morning. Both tracks stay open until noon to further promote the relaxed training environment at Fair Hill. We have four on-site ponds to provide a regular supply of water when necessary for the dirt track; the Tapeta ™ track does not need water. Watering is done early in the morning so that the dirt track maintains it's moisture longer. |
The 7/8-mile all weather Tapeta™ Track, situated inside the dirt track, is easily accessed through a tunnel under the dirt track. It is ideal for horses needing both a forgiving surface and maximum fitness from their training. Its excellent shock-absorbing qualities provide an exceptionally safe alternative training surface. Many horses that dislike training on the dirt, particularly when it is muddy, seem to happily train on the Tapeta™ track. |
Even in the coldest temperatures our tracks have stayed functional and been available to all those trainers brave enough to train in With a professional gate crew and on site veterinary services, the Fair Hill Training Center is well equipped to handle every horse's needs. Fair Hill trainees include Breeder's Cup winners, Kentucky Derby winners, and multiple graded stakes winners. |
