Two Saturdays from now at this exact moment, the 26th annual Hot Walk Party will be well underway. If you've been before, you know. If you haven't then oh boy, you're in for a real treat. All patrons are invited after the last race to celebrate another incredible race day.

If you are thinking about bringing a bus to the Queen’s Cup you better put on the brakes. You MUST get pre-approval and a QC-issued Bus Pass in order for buses to enter the property. Check the restrictions for your area on our website, or review the confirmation email.

Shoutout goes to EasyFix, the next generation of steeplechase fencing. Of its many benefits, our favorite is the protection it provides our horses on race day from injury courtesy of the fencing's 3-D birch. To see EasyFix in action, visit: youtube.com/watch?v=bmCWVu…

Here's hoping at least one child leaves on race day saying they hope to be a jockey when they grow up 🤞 See if they're up for the challenge with our pony rides (for kids) on race day, courtesy of our friends at Mecklenburg Hounds. The ride? $5. The memories? Priceless.

Do this year's tax payments have you down? Maybe $10,000 would help turn things around. Support our charity partner — @westernncalz — by purchasing 1 or more raffle tickets for only $20 each! Buy yours today: queenscup.org/product/2023-a…

We're looking forward to having young rider Taylor Kingsley ride in our 5th and final race, the SAFTFENCE | EASYFIX EQUINE Future Champions Turf Training Flat. Taylor is the daughter of trainer and former top jockey, Arch Kingsley.

Happy #earthday and one week countdown ⏳To ensure this view is the same one we’ll be sharing for generations to come, we’ve donated the development rights of 245 acres into a permanent easement with @catawbalands to permanently protect the race course.

Turning the corner into race week and now all eyes are on the weather… We run rain or shine but we (strongly) prefer the latter 🙏

Bring it on, Saturday 💪 📷: jameypricephoto

It's here! Our official race entries are now LIVE. The below can be found in your Race Program on race day, but it never hurts to start strategizing early.

Forget the #NFLDraft, these athletes and trainers are the ones who really deserve the spotlight. Good luck to this very talented group who will be racing at the #queenscup on Saturday!

Rise and shine, Charlotte! It’s race day! We’ll see you at 10 a.m. when gates officially open for our 26th annual #QueensCup Steeplechase! Don’t forget to tag us in your photos from today so we can see race day in action.

That’s a wrap on the 26th annual Queen’s Cup Steeplechase 🏇🏼 Thank you to all of our patrons, horsemen, trainers, vendors, and volunteers for your continuous support and enthusiasm. See you on Saturday, April 27, 2024 for the 27th annual #queenscup!

Congratulations to our raffle winners from this year's race! Thank you to everyone who purchased a raffle ticket this year. With every purchase, we are one step closer to #endalz with @alzwnc! 💜

Congratulations to this year's "Most Elegant" tailgate winner from the Meadows Back Row - Patricia Hines and friends. Just one look and we're transported all the way to the home of Lord and Lady Grantham at Downton Abbey.

We're here to say that hot pink isn't just for #Barbie

Time for a poll: for your tailgating crew, is the Queen's Cup a day for the girls / guys, or is it more of a family affair? Comment below with how you prefer to spend your race day 👇

If only we put as much time into preparing our kids' school lunches as we do our tailgating spreads. We hope everyone is finding their back-to-school groove! ✏️

Bow ties are always a good idea 👌 . . . Happy#nationalbowtieday!
