Seven exciting horse races fill the afternoon at the Montpelier Races, but there is downtime between the races as the horses move from the barn to the paddock and vice versa. Jockeys must weigh out, horses need to be saddled and walked in the paddock, leaving about 30 minutes between races to fill with some kind of entertainment. The Montpelier Market, located near the finish line, strives to provide that entertainment. The shops in the market are carefully curated, offering a variety of products from kettle corn to tweed jackets and waterproof boots made in Ireland—and everything in between.
