Here's a little history of The Hunt:
- The Far Hills Race Meeting traces its origins all the way back to 1870.
- In the tradition of these clubs, the Essex Fox Hounds established an event to thank the farmers and landowners who allowed them to hunt on their property.
- Today, more than 40,000 spectators converge each fall on the rolling hills of Moorland Farm in Far Hills, New Jersey for the state’s biggest social event of the fall season.
- This year was the 91st running of the tradition.
- Total race day purses equaled $550,000, with six races offering the highest purses on the National Steeplechase Association circuit.
- Instead of emphasizing the horses, the riders, and the competition, organizers of The Hunt create a tailgating extravaganza that more closely resembles a frat party than a time-honored equestrian pastime.
- If you know what is actually happening on the track, you aren't drunk enough.

This looks like uptight and boring people desperately pretending they're something else, and doing a bad job of it. * Although they don't know how to have fun, as one picture suggests, they seem to know a thing or two about CORN-HOLING. * the exception being the elder gentleman in full checkered outfit. I'd party with him anytime!
