2007 International Gold Cup Races
October 20, 2007
Great Meadow, The Plains, VA

McFadyen Solutions is sponsoring the Jack Russell Terrier Race at the 2007 International Gold Cup Races at the The Plains, VA on October 20. This is the 70th running of the races and is one of the greatest traditions in the VA, MD, and D.C. areas. Set against the backdrop of Virginia’s rolling hills and autumn foliage, this all-day event is a definite crowd-pleaser. The steeplechase races, U.S. Navy Seals parachute demonstration, McFadyen sponsored Jack Russell Terrier race, and tail-gating contest provide a full day of fun and excitement.

An expected crowd of over 35,000, the International Gold Cup boasts the Fegentri World Cup of Nations where the top international amateur jockeys will compete for the series title.

Our platinum tent on Members Hill will be complete with food and open bar. Though there is no official dress code, casual wear (i.e. jean, t-shirts, shorts, etc.) is frowned upon. Women typically wear fall dresses and flat heels for comfort, and men are encouraged to wear sports coats and ties.
