๐ŸŽSteeplechase Spotlight!๐ŸŽ The origin of racing over fences began in Ireland in the 18th century. The first Steeplechase race in the U.S. was run in 1834. Its roots were in the fox-hunting field, and occasionally horsemen would match up their horses for races over considerable distances. They would race to landmarks such as church steeples, and one of these races was a chase to the steeple or a steeplechase.

Gates open at 10am. We're off to the races at 1:30pm. Rail and infield tailgating spaces are available by the carload and there's a special college section.
