Far Hills Races

The Far Hills Race Meeting features six high-stakes races on Moorland Farms, drawing 75,000 spectators to watch horses navigate obstacles across grassy terrain.

The event originated in 1870 as the Essex Hunt, relocating to Moorland Farms in 1916 where it transformed into the current racing competition.

Families and groups create elaborate tailgate setups with food displays, decorations, and seating arrangements, maintaining a tradition spanning generations.

General admission tickets grant access to the grounds, while reserved parking spaces accommodate tailgating groups throughout different viewing sections.

The races distribute over $1,000,000 in purses across six events, establishing themselves as the highest-paying competitions in American steeplechasing.
