Virginia Gold Cup

Enjoy the Virginia Gold Cup! Tailgating at the Virginia Gold Cup races is a time honored tradition so make the most of the day and participate in the Tailgate Contest.  The best tailgates have a theme, decorations and special food and drinks recipes. Reserved tailgating spots are available on the Member’s Hill, North Rail and South Rail. When you reserve a tailgate spot you are eligible to enter the tailgate competition – and it is free! Tailgates are judged by a panel of local food and TV personalities.

Other race day activities include terrier races, shopping, hat contests, and some of the best steeplechase racing you’ll find anywhere.
