NEW IN 2012!  DRIVING EXHIBITION!

Pictured left Josh Rector and Team Nags Head four-in-hand through the Water Hazard at the 2010 World Equestrian Games, and right above is Sybil Humphries with World Champion Pony, Bouncer.  Bouncer now drives to raise awareness for Pancreatic Cancer. Both will be performing at the Races.

Plan to come early and view the Driving Exhibition in the Infield of the Flat Track! imagine four beautiful horses moving in tandem to execute difficult maneuvers – and doing it fast!  This will be a unique opportunity to view the fastest growing equine sport, tradition with a modern twist!

And plan on entering our TAILGATE CONTEST!   ( See the form below)Our fun contest acknowledges that many race goers love to really “do up” their tailgate food and presentation.  There is no entry fee, the judging is fun and there are great prizes!  But PLEASE, no grills, no open fires.  the only cooking allowed are the very small camp stove with propane container the size of a thermos. Celebrity judge this year is Chef Jason Alley.  Alley’s Comfort Restaurant in Richmond, opened in 2002, celebrates his passion for the kind of Southern Comfort food you could find in a checkered picnic basket in an idyllic pastoral painting.  His second Restaurant, Pasture is a more refined take on Southern food – he will be opening a Charlottesville Pasture winter, 2012.
