The Aiken Training Track can't compete with the more modern training centers in the South East, but that's okay, we're not trying to compete with them. While we recognize the attraction the larger training facilities hold for many horsemen, we value the history and mesmerizing charm our facility has held for over 65 years.

The Aiken Training Track is a privately owned facility and though some of the trainers stabled here are private, many are independent contractors who welcome new clients. Click to visit our Trainers page.

So if you're looking for a quiet place to start your yearlings or give an older horse some well earned down time or a quick tune up to get them back to the races, the Aiken Training Track has everything you need to get the job done.
