The Virginia Gold Cup is a tradition with my fellow Mary Baldwin graduates.
They go every year, but since I'm on the opposite coast I don't make it as
often. These are pictures from the 1997 races, so they are pretty old.
That year that our group had a "rail space". Usually we get lawn seating,
which is more removed from the course but often has a better view. In 2000
I sprung for a tent spot, which was really a lot of fun. I hope I'm able
to do that again in the future.
Gold Cup is a somewhat of a dress-up affair. Ladies wear summery dresses,
and the men wear ties, usually. It's always held the same day as the Kentucky
Derby, so you get a little of that atmosphere.
