all in The Life

For more than a century, the Far Hills Race Meet has been part of the fabric of the Far Hills, N.J. community, and it’s grown into the state’s premier social and sporting event.

The annual gathering at Moorland Farm is a highlight of the fall season and attracts thousands of spectators who return, year after year, to watch the world’s finest steeplechases, reconnect with family and friends, support worthy causes, and make memories to last a lifetime.

What would be the one word that describes Thoroughbred racing? It is a sport with a storied history that stretches back centuries, featuring majestic creatures and legend-provoking stories, and one that allows people from all walks of life to unite in one loud roar that echoes throughout sacred grandstands as a backdrop to the thundering of hooves.

For Jayson Werth, that one word is: iconic.

This month marks my final update before the big Thoroughbred Makeover event in October, and it’s been quite a stressful ride! The biggest concern has been ensuring that both of my horses are fully prepared for the makeover show. Have I done everything possible to get them ready? Can I somehow keep them in a bubble to prevent any major injuries before the event? The list of worries goes on! Each horse is at a different stage in their training, with their own set of unique challenges.

Jerry Dixon Jr., the famed groom of 2022 Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve winner Rich Strike, has taken the next step in his career as a trainer.

John Stewart’s meteoric entrance into Thoroughbred ownership has been well documented in the year following his big splash at the 2023 Keeneland September Yearling Sale. With his multitude of high-dollar purchases, both privately and at auction, he has shown that Resolute Racing is here to stay, looking to breed and race the very best.
