At long last, springtime in Virginia comes breezing in through open windows, riding on the scent of azaleas, magnolias, peonies and honeysuckle, and I find myself craving the kind of southern comfort that most would associate with derby fever. However, for me, Mint Juleps are warm weather refreshments to be enjoyed long after the “run for the roses” is over.
The 91st running of the Virginia Gold Cup, one of the premier steeplechase events in the country, is scheduled Saturday, May 7 at Great Meadow in The Plains.
After great success with pari-mutuel betting, the perk continues on site. The Virginia Gold Cup, and October’s International Gold Cup, are the only Northern Virginia venues to offer sanctioned betting. The widely-acclaimed West Point Alumni Glee Club will sing the National Anthem at the event, performing at noon.
