A Dozen Things to Know Before You Go: 2022 Far Hills Race Meeting

Far Hills Race Meeting returns in 2022 for its 101st running. The Mean Queen won the Grand National Hurdle Stakes in 2021. Far Hills is New Jersey's premier social and sporting event. It takes place on Saturday, October 15.

The 2022 Far Hills Race Meeting is scheduled to have six races worth $575,000 in purses. The Grand National is the most prestigious of the afternoon, with the highest prize money of $250,00.

In 2018, Far Hills offered pari-mutuel wagering to patrons for the first time. The parionet betting system means you're playing against the house, not against your fellow bettors. In 2021, City Dreamer paid $15.60 to win and keyed a $61.80 exacta.

There are a few things to know before you go to the Far Hills Race Meeting. It's important to bring the basics, such as sunscreen, a phone charger, and sunglasses. You can't bring alcohol through the pedestrian gate. Private parties are allowed to have alcohol on the property. No pets are permitted, so please leave your ice luges at home.

The steeplechase takes place on Oct. 16. New Jersey Transit will offer trains from Hoboken, N.J., continuously on race day. Far Hills has an area for fans using rideshares to arrive and depart from the races. General parking is available, but you should not drive if you're planning to indulge in a few cocktails at Far Hill's.

The gates open for fans at 8 a.m. ET and the first post time is 1 p. m. The 2022 Far Hills Race Meeting is a big event.
