Sycamore Invitational
Each year at the start of the spring steeplechase season in Maryland, Joe and Blythe Davies host an informal day of picnics and racing at their Sycamore Farm in Monkton. The race day is called The Sycamore Invitational and as the name implies, entries are by invite only. Many of Maryland’s top steeplechase trainers bring their top horses for the informal “schooling” races. There are also pony rides and foxhunter style races as well.
