Darley of America has recently closed a deal purchasing 360 acres of land near Montmorenci for the development of a thoroughbred training facility. The facility will include a one mile dirt track, train 130 horses and employ 50 people. This will be a significant expansion of Darley's current Aiken operations, which are located near the Aiken Training Track. The new facility will be located approximately six miles from the Aiken Training Track.
Darley of America is owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum of Dubai and manages his North American racing operations. In 2008, Darley purchased Stonerside Stable which included Stonerside's Aiken training facility, located near the Aiken Training Track.
