The History of Steeplechase Horse Racing
The sport of Steeplechase racing dates back to 1752 in Ireland
when two, half-crocked, buddies settled the argument over who
owned the very best horse by racing to the nearest Church steeple
right after returning from Fox hunting. The winner in fact rode correct
by means of the church where the vicar was holding a solemn funeral.
Soon it spread to England, where in 1792, the 1st recorded
race was held. This sport then crossed over from the Atlantic
