Iroquois Steeplechase
The Iroquois Steeplechase is an American Grade I NSA sanctioned steeplechase race run each spring at Percy Warner Park in Nashville, Tennessee.
The race dates back to 1941, and has been held annually, except in 1945, due to World War II. The Iroquois itself is the culmination of a card of races which usually includes five to seven preliminary races, both flat races and steeplechases. The race is named for Iroquois, the first American-bred Thoroughbred to win the prestigious British Epsom Derby.
Several winners of the race have been named American Champion Steeplechase Horse including Flatterer, Lonesome Glory, Correggio, All Gong, Good Night Shirt, Pierrot Lunaire, Divine Fortune, Demonstrative, Rawnaq and Scorpiancer.
The race is long, over national fences and for four-year-olds and over.Records since 1991
