For 83 years, the seven horse races of the Virginia Gold Cup have been an
opportunity for Washingtonians to come out and play on the first Saturday
in May. More than 50,000 people attended last year.
Mingle with the gentry in your sundress and hat (for ladies) or button down
shirt and khakis (for gentlemen), or deck yourself out in vintage attire
for a true F. Scott Fitzgerald "Gatsbyesque" look.
A rail side party tent will shelter up to 100 ADSW members and friends from
rain or shine. Adjacent patios provide views of nearby jumps. The Jumbotron
TV behind the tent allows exceptional viewing of the ponies throughout the
race. Bring your own folding chairs; tables will be available.
Dine throughout the day on barbeque meats, side items, fruits, breads, and
deserts. Quench your thirst at the open bar featuring beer, wine,
cocktails, juice, soft drinks, etc.
- Carpooling -
We will meet at Centreville, Virginia to consolidate into carpools of five
or six people with designated drivers.
