Great Steeplechase Racing

With my English upbringing, my web site would not be complete without some mention of these great races.

The Grand National is a national treasure involving horses jumping large fences, in a combination of bravery and stamina, over 4 and a half miles. The Irish Grand National is a similar style of event with a colorful history too. The Cheltenham Festival is a collection of Championship races now held over 4 days and is the crowning glory of the National hunt season in England.
