\"\"<\/a>Plans for the 29th running of the Willowdale Steeplechase on Saturday, May 14, 2022 are underway! The races will return to full spectator capacity with some exciting new attendance opportunities.<\/p>\n

Spectators at the 2022 races will have the choice of purchasing traditional tailgate parking spots, Hilltop Private Party Paddocks or tables in the new Jockey Club at Willowdale. Corporate Hospitality tents and general admission will be available again and there are increased opportunities for sponsorship.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful to the many supporters who have helped us survive the losses brought on by the pandemic – and to be able to welcome back all of our race goers this spring,\u201d said Race Chairman Dixon Stroud. \u201cWe\u2019re anticipating a spectacular race day.\u201d<\/p>\n

He stressed that the safety and well-being of Willowdale\u2019s spectators, horsemen, officials and volunteers is the organization\u2019s top priority – and that hasn\u2019t changed. All Willowdale Steeplechase planning decisions will continue to be made in accordance with CDC, federal and state government mandates and public health guidelines for outdoor events.<\/p>\n
