I just received my invitation to the 85th running of the Pennsylvania Hunt Cup, a hugely popular autumn event. The date is Sunday, Nov. 3, and the course is west of Newark Road, between Routes 926 and 842. In addition to the usual subscription levels, this year tailgaters have the option of reserving a tent with a table -- $500 at the finish line and $350 on the hilltop.
Gates open at 10:30 a.m., with the junior hunt cup race at 11:30 and the carriage parade at 1 p.m. Mr. Stewart's Cheshire Foxhounds will parade at 2 p.m. and there will be a sidesaddle exhibition at 2:30 p.m. The Lewis C. Ledyard Memorial Race starts at 1:30 p.m., the Arthur O. Choate, Jr. Memorial is at 2:15 p.m., the Hunt Cup at 3 p.m. and the Athenian Idol (the flat race) at 3:30 p.m.
