THE TRADITION OF THE PENNSYLVANIA HUNT CUP
The Pennsylvania Hunt Cup is a Timber steeplechase race with a distance of four miles and 18 fences, over fair hunting country. From its inception it has been intended as a substantial test of both horse and rider, and is one of just three 4-mile steeplechase races sanctioned by the National Steeplechase Association.

WHAT OUR VISITORS SAY ABOUT US
Dear PA Hunt Cup Race meet It has been only a couple years since I attended, my favorite race meet, the PA Hunt Cup, but I was so impressed by the many great improvements! I wanted to congratulate you all on this. Moving the tradeshow to the infield and using small pretty tents is awesome. The junior racing is so important. So few places in the south have embraced the field master chase, which as you all know is a proven safe point of entry for any participant. Having Boyd there was brilliance. WarmlyLizzy Beer
The Stewards would like to thank and commend the Race Committee for another successful race meet and would also like to thank the horsemen for keeping the day running on schedule and in a timely fashion. The racecourse was in excellent condition and the ground crew should be commended for a job well done.Gus Brown
