Former NSA President George Strawbridge calls the Gold Cup’s Great Meadow racecourse, “The crown jewel of American steeplechasing.” Nick Arundel said simply “what this generation and The Virginia Gold Cup is doing at Great Meadow is driven by harmony with its community, its traditions and its environment.”

Children will be able to sit on a rug near the jolly ole elf and talk to Santa while parents are welcome to take as many photos as they'd like. Once the children feel comfortable with Santa, they will have the opportunity to take photo with him and tell him what they would like for Christmas. As in years past, children will be able to shop for their friends and family at Santa's Secret Shop. Tickets will be available for purchase for $2 each upon entering the building. We will be accepting cash and credit/debit card payments this year. Individual gifts each cost 1 ticket and will be wrapped and ready to give.
