Q: What is the dress and attire for this event?
A:
This is a family
event. Attire on the racecourse is somewhat casual though many show-up
in sun dresses for ladies and khakis and polo shirts for men. Jeans are rarely seen at the Queen's Cup. Many (men
and women) wear hats! Due to the terrain (grassy and undularing), flat
soled shoes are highly recommended and stiletto heels are not.
Member's Hill & The Paddock:
Guests on Member's Hill and the Paddock should wear dressy clothes,
i.e. jacket and tie and long slacks for men while ladies should wear
sun dresses, skirts or dressy slacks. Ladies and Gentlemen are
encouraged to wear hats at the Queen's Cup. Linen suits and the
archetypal ‘Queen's Cup’ Panama hat are traditionally worn by gentlemen
as characterised by Edward VII in the early twentieth century. Jeans
and shorts are not permitted on Member's Hill.
Since this is a
RAIN or SHINE event, be prepared for the sun and the rain but please
note as tents and standing umbrellas are not allowed due to the wind
risk and viewing! We love pets, especially dogs, but please leave yours
at home.

Q: May I buy a tailgate space next to my friends who have already or are planning to purchase their tailgate for this year's race.
A: If you and your friends have purchased prior to the tailgate lottery process (lottery takes place the end of March) and have notified the Queen's Cup Office that you would like to be placed next to your friend's tailgate space, the Office can draw your lottery together. There exceptions to the rule so contact the Office prior to the lottery to confirm your wishes.

Q: Since this is professional horse racing, is there legalized gambling?
A: The State of North Carolina does not, currently or in the works, have legalized pari-mutual wagering. Therefore, the answer is...No!
|
Q: Is there food, drinks and alcohol available at the Queen's Cup?
A: Yes, but on a limited basis. Steeplechase racing is all about tailgating with family and friends. Thus, the Queen's Cup is a BYO event in all regards. We do have a vendor or two selling hamburgers and hot dogs along with soft drinks and water. There are no alcohol sales at the event except at the after party, a.k.a The Hot Walk Party which starts immediately after the last race.
