It's time to buy your parking pass and start planning your tailgate picnic for the Pennsylvania Hunt Cup on Sunday, Nov. 3. This year marks the 85th running of the event, which is a hugely popular autumn event for horse racing fans and people who like a good party (or both!). The course is west of Newark Road, between Routes 926 and 842.
The event is held rain or shine. Last year the carriage parade was cancelled due to muddy conditions, and who can forget the year the port-a-potties were upended by ferocious winds?
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. Visit www.pahuntcup.org for more information.
