The sport of Steeplechase racing will take us back back to 1752 in Ireland when two, half-crocked, friends established the disagreement about who owned the finest horse by racing to the nearby Church battlement after returning from Fox hunting. The winner in fact rode right through the church where the preacher was holding a somber memorial service. Soon it stretches to England, where in 1792, the first evidence race was held. This activity then crossed over from the Atlantic to the US, where it has became very admired.


Steeplechase races are held at 12 states across America and the increasing purses for these proceedings are $5 million annually. The horse races are a put to see and be seen at. It's seen across the country by millions of enthusiasts and aficionados and is a foremost sponsored occasion where commercial sponsors compete with each other for sponsorship of the events. It draws the best flair for horses, horse owners, and riders and also raises millions of dollars in charitable trust. As a result it also attracts the most influential and the prominent men and women.

A choice of the oldest and the most prestigious steeplechase horse racing events are Montpelier Hunt Races, which was happening on the estates of Former President James Madison since 1929. Others are The American Grand National that began in 1899 and the The National Hunt Cup in Radnor, Pa., which was started in 1909.

The big races in Virginia are Virginia Gold Cup, FoxField races at Charlottesville, Virginia, Fairfax Hunt races at Great Falls, Middleburg Spring races at Middleburg, Montpelier Hunt Races at Montpelier Station, Morven park Steeplechase races at Leesburg, Mountaineer chest track in Chester etc.
