If you are in or near the Virginia area you should make the trek to the International Gold Cup Races:

Here is the description from the events website:

"On October 18th, 2010, 35,000
spectators will gather at Great Meadow near The Plains, Virginia, to
celebrate the 72nd running of the International Gold Cup Races. This
event will provide a full day of entertainment including six nationally
sanctioned horse races, terrier races, tailgate contest and a Porsche
sports car exhibit. Ticket sales benefit the Great Meadow Foundation, a
