Item Description
Good for one (1) South General Car Pass (for up to six (6) passengers) for the 90th running of the Virginia Gold Cup Races held at the Great Meadow Event Center in The Plains, VA on Saturday, May 2, 2015.
The legendary annual Virginia Gold Cup steeplechasing classic, now run before a sellout crowd of over 50,000 people, comes from much simpler beginnings.
Steeplechasing in Virginia has been a way of life since early Colonial times when the horse was the primary way of transportation, farming and war. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson met in sporting competition over fences. Organized steeplechase races have run in Fauquier County since 1844 originally at White Sulphur Springs then a fashionable spa near Warrenton.
The Virginia Gold Cup has over the past century made steeplechasing one of the most prestigious sports in America. Former NSA President George Strawbridge calls the Gold Cup's Great Meadow racecourse, the crown jewel of American steeplechasing. Nick Arundel said simply "what this generation and The Virginia Gold Cup is doing at Great Meadow is driven by harmony with its community, its traditions and its environment."
