Maryland Department of Natural Resources Announces Horse Racing to Return at Fair Hill Turf Track

Horse racing will return this summer to the turf track at Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area in Cecil County, providing new opportunities for economic development through outdoor recreation and equine events, announced yesterday!

The turf track inside the Fair Hill Special Event Zone is scheduled to reopen to racing on Aug. 30. The reopening follows the completion of an infrastructure modernization project, which included the construction of a sand-based turf course of Kentucky bluegrass with a state-of-the-art irrigation system, the first course of its kind in Maryland.

Fair Hill is an economic engine and cultural touchpoint for Cecil County and the broader mid-Atlantic region, helping Maryland maintain its status as an equestrian epicenter by hosting major horse shows and racing events as well as other recreational opportunities. Designed to enable a wide range of equine disciplines to train and compete at Fair Hill, the one-mile course will accommodate flat racing, steeplechase, and eventing. https://ow.ly/J9UN50WnVa0
