United Hunts to Bring Cross Country Racing to Benning
The United Hunts Association plans a fall meeting at Benning near Washington with Pimlico and Benning courses, drawing many regional hunt clubs from Maryland Virginia and beyond. The move reduces New York influence, promotes continuous racing from Belmont to year end, and spotlights military riders and Army Navy Club enthusiasts in a new cross country program. The Pimlico course has been improved with drainage and sod and a military steeplechase adds appeal at Fort Myer and nearby clubs. Deathless Keene Futurity loss noted as Electioneer's rise ties breeding to broader racing plans.
