A full day of horsing around awaits at the 45th running of the Foxfield Races. The historic steeplechase event, born out of the tradition of fox hunting, features seven full race cards over flat tracks, hurdles, hills, and obstacles for the jockeys and their thoroughbreds. Live music, local vendors, and a variety of food trucks combine with derby-style fashions, enthusiastic tailgating, and friendly side wagers at this outdoor affair.
Saturday 4/27. $65–8,400, 9am. Foxfield track, 2215 Foxfield Track. foxfieldraces.com
