Welcome to Mountainside Race Park's schedule for 2026! We hope to continue to offer a quality selection of undercard and stakes races offered for Quarter Horses, Appaloosas and Paint horses. Three-year-old and older Thoroughbreds are welcome in 660 yard and longer races. We have a limit of ten horses per owner per meet; owners may decide how to split entries between races. Races may be split by breed, gender, racing status, owner, etc. to ensure a fair and appropriately sized fields. Please send your entries via e-mail to (bethgustas@gmail.com). Entries must arrive no later than 8am mountain the morning of the scheduled meet. Please send entries copied & pasted into one email message or attached Word or text file. Entries must be listed in numeric order with full race name and number listed clearly before each horse. Cliff notes are required.
