Everyone has their favorite harbinger of spring. For some it is spying the first robin, for others it is the first daffodil blooming and for still others it is seeing the trees with new buds. For me the beginning of spring has always been the start of the Virginia steeplechase season. The Virginia Spring Steepechase season starts this Saturday with the Cassanova Hunt Point to Point.
