Nothing sets the tone for the changing season in Virginia quite like watching the steeple chase horses and riders race across the open fields with the fall foliage beginning to show in the distance. This past Saturday did not disappoint as the 67th annual Virginia Fall Races were held on Saturday, October 9, 2021, at Glenwood Park in Middleburg, VA.
New this year was the addition of the $25,000 Magalen O. Bryant Memorial, run in memory of Mrs. Magalen O. Bryant, an entrepreneur, conservationist, and staunch supporter of thoroughbred racing in the US and Europe. For decades, a loyal advocate and friend of the community, Mrs. Bryantās family continues her grand legacy at the Virginia Fall Races. Pathfinder Racingās Knockholt won the $25,000 Magalen Ohrstrom Bryant Memorial under jockey Gerard Galligan and trainer Neil Morris.
Graham Watters on Storm Team, owned by Sheila J. Williams and Northwoods Stable and trained by Jack Fisher took home the prize for the $30,000 National Sporting Library & Museum Cup, a timber race run over three and one-quarter miles.
