And they're off! The Annual Running of the Virginia Gold Cup consists of seven horse races over brush and timber fences in the classic steeplechase tradition. Purses totaling over $100,000 attract the finest jump-race contenders in the United States and Europe. Pre-race activities, including Pony Races and a Jack Russell Terrier Exhibition, add to the genteel character of a day of racing in the rolling hills of Virginia's hunt country. You will receive one North General Car Pass and Four Members Hill Badges to this enjoyable afternoon, held this year May 2, 2009. Tickets must be claimed on or before April 1, 2009.
