It’s the running of the annual <a href="http://marylandhuntcup.com/" target="_blank">Maryland Hunt Cup</a>, often referred to as the most difficult timber race in the world. In fact, the winner of the Hunt Cup is automatically invited to race in England’s Grand National steeplechase the following year (it’s held in early April).<a href="http://marylandhuntcup.com/" target="_blank"><img title="image" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YC8AiBQ7tVc/Vx45Y9oqI8I/AAAAAAAA-hs/k2MqYV9zyEI/image%25255B28%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="906" height="119"></a></font> <p><font size="3">Much of the planning for spectators at the Hunt Cup is predicated on the weather forecast. If it’s warm and sunny, then shirts and ties, and sundresses and sandals prevail. If it’s cool and overcast, you will see lots of tweeds, cords, Barbour jackets and wellie boots. Regardless of the weather, you will be marked as a rank amateur if you’re wearing high heels, ladies! </font> <p><font size="3">We could take a lesson from some of the race-goers in England with their tweeds and hats. When you see pictures of past Hunt Cups, everyone’s dressed in tweeds, jackets and ties and skirts, including the grooms. This gal in her mustard skirt and jacket and purple tights, and the gents in their tweeds look perfect.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp_vG18zKq7luiuztNfHMxOOCdOHxWRg6BYpQL1TTRoGA9Eiieq5k6Jw89w44ZeVXGb6Z5TxNhx8Pzterz6YWKP0CVGi-DVBJtVjUN7SBrZPxerOhnYaAIJQmq4JzuIcVll6AV_0-sw0k/s1600-h/image%25255B3%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Aef0-EYMZU8/Vx45aL_ziAI/AAAAAAAA-h0/ulwUqQHKz4w/image_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="644" height="551"></a></font><font size="3">One of the highlights of the day, other than the race, is the pre-race tailgating. Competition for the prettiest and most extravagant picnic is fierce. But we figure that our table has an edge that no one else’s does: We use Stiles’ father’s Hunt Cup Trophy for our floral centerpiece!</font> <p><font size="3">J. Fred Colwill won the Hunt Cup three times, in 1938, 1939 and 1940, on Blockade, and after the third win, the trophy was retired and a new one was struck. All of these years later, it is back at the Hunt Cup, but this time holding gorgeous flowers from Stiles’ and Jonathan’s garden. <a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/--bF8Gztrc2g/Vx45asNXXiI/AAAAAAAA-h4/fVgEqddSM00/s1600-h/image%25255B7%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-VtzJ5QN1_YM/Vx45bXdjDeI/AAAAAAAA-h8/ScJX45WPr0I/image_thumb%25255B3%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="402" height="604"></a></font><font size="3">Of course, the food and drink for the picnic is equally important. Luckily, it’s been cool the past few years, so there’s not much danger of things spoiling. We always have fried chicken, and have found that the Royal Farm Stores (RoFo) has very good chicken. You can order it ahead of time for the race. </font> <p><font size="3">People are going to pick at the food all afternoon, so finger foods are best. Chips and dips, cheese and crackers, pretzels and goldfish are all good. If you bring a salad, like we did, wait and let everyone dress their own plate, otherwise, it will get soggy. Asparagus wrapped in prosciutto is an elegant finger-friendly dish.<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-6e3x_gRIUYE/Vx45b0bQm8I/AAAAAAAA-iA/pTB7p2kDYsY/s1600-h/image%25255B11%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-GN_9k9tq0Zs/Vx45crh-euI/AAAAAAAA-iE/T9agEinRI3U/image_thumb%25255B5%25255D.png?imgmax=800" width="644" height="483"></a></font><font size="3">What you want to avoid is people balancing their plates and using knives and forks, all while standing and trying to look chic.

You can add chocolate chips or After Eight mints, or even swirl some raspberry jam through the brownie batter, to up your game on these traditional favorites. It’s fun to also have some fruit, like strawberries or grapes.<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-4ps-4aiRGbU/Vx45dMozpmI/AAAAAAAA-iI/MV-rgpvTh6k/s1600-h/image%25255B15%25255D.png"><img title="image" style="border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px" border="0" alt="image" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGxmrh_f4l8eJoUgWFqabiU0kp9Gs_mdSESYu7Avx3V8zt1ME42J-zRAX0jI4gMvxx_MM5-K1RBlHUYTnFHuiv5SVC82LCXToq2G71NexP1kwoeOKZwbUzQRC688m1Ml9Xwb6rfKr9QHw/?imgmax=800" width="454" height="604"></a></font><font size="3">Now, the critical element: the drinks.
