“…And Away They Go!”

For more than 20 years, the familiar phrasing of world-renowned track announcer Trevor Denman has wafted through the Fairplex Park grandstand, inviting newcomers and experienced handicappers alike to enjoy the exciting sport of horse racing in an intimate, family-friendly setting. Watch the jockeys mount up in the cozy saddling paddock, pick your favorite runner in the colorful post parade, then get ready to cheer your horse home to the finish. At Fairplex Park, you won’t miss a minute of the hoof-pounding action, whether you watch the races from the comfort of a box seat or even standing by the rail as the field thunders past you. No binoculars required here!
