THE VIRGINIA GOLD CUP Fran Holuba and Becky Lee

The Plains, Virginia | PHOTOS BY KATHERINE KENDALL RAIN OR SHINE The lingering rainfall did not stop 50,000 revelers and racing aficionados from making their way to the 92nd Running of The Virginia Gold Cup, an hour southwest of Washington. Presented this year by MGM National Harbor, the featured race was won convincingly by Irv Naylor’s “Ebanour.” Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, his wife Dorothy, and MGM’s Will Stelly were on hand to present the trophy to the winning jockey, the mud-splattered Gus Dahl, who secured the prize of $100,000 for the second year in a row. This year also marked 10 years for Becky’s Fund’s “Investing in Hope” fundraising tent, which moved to Member’s Hill to create a more VIP experience. Guests were invited to share their personal feelings on being “Men of Code,” leaders who work to end domestic violence against women and girls.
