The Carolina Cup took place yesterday Saturday, May 22, 2021. It was definitely a hot one! The cup is usually the last Saturday of March, or the first Saturday in April. But due to covid, this year it was pushed back to May. It was sponsored by The Mullikin Law Firm this year. The Carolina Cup is one of the biggest steeple horse race events on the east coast. It puts little old Camden, South Carolina on the map.
Over the course of its 80+year history, it has hosted over a million visitors at the Springdale Race Track. People from near and far travel to meet up with family and friends to attend yearly. I've seen some even host their family reunions and class reunions there as well. At The Carolina Cup, I catch up with friends and old classes-mates from high school and college. It's always a good time seeing those faces. I meet such amazing people every year. The atmosphere there is so friendly,pleasant. and laid back.
One thing is for sure, its definitely known for its fashion. The race takes place in the spring every year. Everyone knows with spring comes the color palettes of spring pastels and summer colors that play off the jockey's silk shirts. The Cup is one big ole fashion showcase contest. Everyone looks for the outfit that stands out the most to win.
The fashion of the cup was originally started by women with their colorful sun dresses and big hats. However, over the years, the men have jumped on the fashion train as well. They are trending more with their colorful suits, bow-ties, blazers, brim hats, and polo shirts. The men put just as much effort into their ensemble as the ladies. There are no rules or limits to the cup fashion.
