Built in 1907 by William Woodward, “Belair Stud Stable” was home to Gallant Fox (1930) and Omaha (1935). They are the only father/son horses to ever capture the Triple Crown Series.

 

Governor Ogle, the original 1740s owner of Belair, brought horse racing to Maryland. The Woodward's continued its 200-year racing legacy through the 1950s.

 

Paris Design has created dozens of graphic displays to interpret the stable history, famous horses, African American jockeys and the people who worked at Belair Stud.

 

Vignettes in stables include agricultural displays and a recreated 1923 stable master's apartment. Waysides in courtyard focus on property restoration and the people that trained the horses.
