Culpeper’s Joe Kincheloe, who knows how to walk a course and plan a route, has dominated this event for the past decade as well. His longtime old fashioned champion, Garth of Birmingham, who died two years ago, wasn’t even a Thoroughbred — he was an appendix Quarter Horse. But he had the qualities that win these types of races — he was a bold jumper over any obstacle, and he was handy and sure-footed at speed up and down mountains.

Details on the March 6, March 21 and April 6 old-fashioned races are available from Kincheloe at (540) 547-2263.
