Pavilion - $1,000:
The Center’s sales pavilion, or 920-seat auditorium, was originally built for horse auctions with the idea in mind to accommodate conventions, corporate meetings, conferences, seminars, concerts, theatre productions, fashion shows, and other social events. This theatre-style auditorium offers a relaxing and spacious atmosphere with its red velvet chairs and double-wide aisle ways (handicap accessible). A 60’ x 20’ stage, enhanced by a 24-channel sound system, is also available. The Runway, located at the back of the pavilion, is ideal for registration, videographers, photographers, or other set-ups as needed.

Lounge - $500:
The equestrian-themed, formal lounge is 2400 square feet of elegance and flair. Complete with its magnificent chandelier, adjoining kitchen, and a bar and beverage service, this room is ideal for banquets, weddings, wedding receptions, formals, proms, school parties, company parties, trade shows, and small business meetings. This room comfortably seats 200.

Pavilion/Lounge - $1,500:
Looking for a space that is not only ideal for your corporate meeting or convention, but also for a “break-out” room in which your guests may have one-on-one conversations and meetings with prospective clients or friends? The Center’s auditorium and lounge is your answer. Not only are they conveniently located next to each other, they simply add to the hospitable and comfortable atmosphere you are guaranteed at the Center.

Lounge/Runway - $600:
For guests who need a little extra room, but not too far away from the Lounge’s main event, make arrangements to use the Runway, which is directly adjacent to the Lounge. Oftentimes, additional tables and chairs are placed on the Runway to allow guests a little more space away from the music and festivities.

Holding Area - $400:
A unique and rustic area, the casual barn-like atmosphere, clearly defines the Center’s central location in the heart of the Thoroughbred industry. Supplied with a bar, this party area has become the best facility around for sorority/fraternity parties, barbecues, reunions, company parties/picnics, and many other social events. From the doors of the Holding Area, guests may watch Thoroughbreds in training on one of the two tracks located only yards away. This 8800 square foot space is ideal for your casual events. Seating accommodations up to 600.

Conference Rooms - $175:
Groups looking for a nice, quiet atmosphere to hold small-scale meetings will definitely be interested in our conference room. Ideal for board meetings, staff meetings, conference meetings, seminars, and other small events, our conference rooms are perfect.
