Queen's Cup,

About the event

The Queen’s Cup is held on the grounds of Brooklandwood Racecourse priding itself on providing first class racing in a unique and inspiring setting. Sponsors and racegoers alike over the years have enjoyed not only fantastic hospitality and scenery but you’ll experience some of the highest level of steeplechase racing anywhere in the United States.

Attending the Queen’s Cup is a wonderful way to ring in spring! The Queen’s Cup is Always the last Saturday in April, when the weather in Charlotte is typically warm and the flowers are in bloom, fragrantly scenting the air. The smell of freshly cut green grass, the warm sun, and a sense of peace and renewal fills the atmosphere.
The Queen’s Cup is like no other sporting and social event in the Charlotte region. A Saturday afternoon in the country each spring is greeted with great anticipation.

Thousands come to see some of the most athletic thoroughbreds compete at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. The jockeys, dressed in bright colored silks, push their sleek steeds to clear four and a half foot jumps over a two and a quarter to as much as three mile rolling turf course. The prestige of over $100,000 in purse money to the winning owners and the opportunity to bask in the glory of the winner’s circle is what it’s all about from the horse’s connections.

Beyond the excitement of the races, families and friends enjoy some fast-paced mingling and socializing each year. The Queen’s Cup annually solidifies business as well as personal relationships; and keeps both strong by bringing people together year after year.

The Queen’s Cup offers breathtaking views of the entire racecourse from the Lawn Boxes and Hospitality Tents on exclusive Member’s Hill to key tailgating spots throughout the entire racecourse. For the first time in steeplechase history, Personal Space Licenses (PSL’s) are being offered to our race patrons so that you and your family can enjoy your very own Lawn Box or Tailgating Space for generations to come.
