At the recent running of the Piedmont Point-to-Point races, I was grateful to present the Rokeby Challenge Bowl with Ernie Bugg (and his wife Carol), who spent decades as farm manager at Mr. & Mrs. Paul Mellon's nearby Rokeby Farm. Now retired in Marshall, he still carries the most wonderful stories and is a true keeper of Upperville's history.

Two classic individuals in one photograph: Ernie and Gail Wofford, former Joint-Master of the Piedmont Fox Hounds. These two are icons in the fabric of what makes Upperville.

The Rokeby Challenge Bowl has been run since 1939, historically under the patronage of the Mellons. This year, it was sponsored by the Gerard B. Lambert Foundation in Mrs. Mellon's memory, with the generous support of her grandson, Thomas Lloyd. A beautiful continuation of the family legacy.

We were blessed with a rare, spectacular spring-like day. Usually these races battle cold and mud, but God, Mother Nature, Mr. & Mrs. Mellon...and maybe Dad too from above, gave us something perfect.
And fitting that a local trainer and owner took home the spoils!🌳
