[Rich People Rage In Mud Round One]

While we have given insight to absurd things wealthy people do, such as "glamping," and boozy brunching, yesterday we brought you another to add to the list: The Hunt.

[Chris Brady and friends, at last years Hunt] This Saturday marks the 89th running of the Far Hill Race Meeting, otherwise known as “The Hunt”. This Horse Race is New Jersey’s biggest event of the fall, drawing over 50,000 people, though it more aptly refers to ”the race” of those desperate and dateless men and women who will try their best at a last minute dash to secure some sort of hook-up prior to the desolate break that is the New York winter.
