BUBBLE ECONOMY WINS 85th VIRGINIA GOLD CUP

Arcadia Stables’ Bubble Economy survived a rough landing on the final fence, regained his momentum and passed Bon Caddo in deep stretch to win the $75,000 Virginia Gold Cup on Satuday. It was Bubble Economy’s second Gold Cup victory in the past three years. The eleven-year-old won in 2008 and was second in 2009.

The win was the 12th over jumps for the Jack Fisher-trained Pennsylvania-bred.

The win pushed his earnings past the $388,000 mark.
