The greatest show on turf returns to Great Meadow Saturday By Betsy Burke Parker
The Virginia Gold Cup is the decider. Since 1922, it’s the race that has set the standard, the event by which others are judged. Everybody wants to win the Gold Cup. And short of winning in it, they want to compete. And if that’s not possible, they just want to go. Outnumbered 50 to 21 in the National Steeplechase Association’s spring 2018 condition book, timber races do more than keep pace when it comes to action, competition and tradition.

enough elevation gain from North Rail to the finish line to test endurance, stamina and speed. And last year’s champion, Doc Cebu, clinched the 2017 title, in part, with his 11-length trouncing in the 3 ½-mile International Gold Cup over the same course. Still, 23 4-foot-high fences and four grueling miles are now, and have always been, the great equalizers. Plus, they’ve got to get past Fauquier favorite Zanclus The Gold Cup meet attracted more than 100 horses, overfilling eight races on the program, from card-opening maiden hurdle to the nightcap turf dash.
