There’s a vendor village and food trucks to visit between races on a day perfect for enjoying the countryside in the full beauty of autumn.
The races started as a thank you to property owners who permitted the Essex Foxhounds to hunt over their land, and they used to be called the hunt races. It is NOT a hunt and no longer has anything to do with the hunt, though the misinformed use that nickname when they are referring to it.
Far Hills is one of 40 such race meets that begin in March and end in November, held throughout the East and south from New York to Georgia.
