The Fair Hill Thoroughbred Show is an annual event run by the 501c3 non-profit of the same name. The organization supports riders of thoroughbreds by providing affordable show fees, scholarships, stakes classes, and prizes in every division. Through supporting retired off-track thoroughbreds (OTTB), they help OTTBs find second careers.
The show will be held Saturday September 17, 2016 (starting at 8 a.m.) and Sunday September 18, 2016 (starting at 9 a.m.) at 4640 Telegraph Road, Elkton, MD 21921. Saturday will be specifically for hunters, while Sunday will feature jumpers. There will also be a silent auction on both days of the show from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., featuring biddable items like a golf outing for three with lunch at the Merion Golf Club. A free continental breakfast will be available both Saturday and Sunday mornings for spectators and riders.
Although this year’s entries are not finalized yet, last year featured 2008 PA-Bred Sir Cadian, by Siphon out of Sultry Song. He won $189,758 in lifetime earnings, with 17 starts and 2 wins in Pennsylvania. He also placed 3rd in our 2012 Alphabet Soup Handicap at Parx.
