Fair Hill Training Center is a
racehorse training center based in
Fair Hill,
Maryland. It was owned by
William du Pont, Jr. of the well-known
Du Pont family, who bought the land in 1926. Dupont invested a substantial amount of money to make the property a leading breeding and training farm for his
Thoroughbred racehorses. The State of Maryland purchased Fair Hill in 1974, converting the then property into an equine training complex and a natural resource center. There are 17 privately owned barns, with more than 450 stalls. Each barn has its own set of turn out paddocks and porta pens. Barns here at Fair Hill were individually named after some of the du Pont thoroughbred champions such as
Parlo, Chevation and
Fairy Chant.
