Pleasant Prospect Farm Timber Racing - Pony Racing - Tailgate Picnics - Family Fun March 20th, 2010 is the 67th running of the Howard County - Iron Bridge Race Meet! Nestled in the rolling hills of Pleasant Prospect Farm in western Howard County, this year's race meet provides an expansive setting for this year’s point-to-point, offering several ways for spectators to enjoy the races. Tailgating Competition Be it a basket of fried chicken set out on the truck tailgate or a spread featuring beautiful linens and silver, tailgating at the races is the most traditional and authentic way to enjoy the day. The true, diehard tailgaters are prepared for any weather! At high noon, the cut-throat tailgate competition brings out the chef in even the most domestically challenged race-patron. Winners are awarded prizes for creativity, presentation and cuisine quality. The also-rans can have their fill of all the food they've brought themselves.
