The My Lady’s Manor Steeplechase Races, one of Maryland’s oldest and most competitive days of timber racing, will be run for the benefit of The Manor Foundation. Since 1909, this exciting day of equestrian sport has marked the beginning of spring in the Harford County countryside! The afternoon includes 4 steeplechase races: The My Lady’s Manor Steeplechase Race with a $30,000 purse (and the first of Maryland’s Steeplechase Triple Crown), The John Rush Streett Memorial (two divisions $15,000 purse in each), and The John D. Schapiro Memorial ($15,000purse). ​The day is presented by PNC.

In addition to the races, guests will enjoy live bluegrass music, food vendors and horse-themed merchandise tents and exhibits. The paddock, where horses are paraded before the jockeys are mounted, is open to the public. Gates open at 10:00 a.m. The first race is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. This is a rain or shine event.

The My Lady’s Manor Steeplechase Races are held on Jarrettsville Pike (MD 146) at Pocock Road in Monkton, Maryland. Admission is via parking passes; no additional admission ticket is required to the races.
