Millstone Township, NJ — After 36 years of being one of New Jersey’s premier Standardbred training facilities, Showplace Farms will close its doors on Oct. 1.
We are proud to have been the training base for many of the industry’s leading trainers, owners and the countless horses who have won harness racing’s premier events.
Showplace, which can stable more than 425 Standardbred race horses, is located on 140 acres and is equipped with state-of-the-art amenities.
“It has been a good run,” said Bix DiMeo, General Manager. “But with fewer horses racing and the current economic climate here in New Jersey for harness racing, this business model no longer works for us.”
