Virginia, actually more now than ever with 13 point-to-points and five sanctioned races.

For followers of the steeplechase, ArCom Newspapers’ 1992 Steeplechase Guide presents a comprehensive insight into trainers, horses and courses, a suggestion on how to read those often arcane race cards, a look at a few of the personalities found behind the scenes, in addition to an indispensable calendar, a complete map of this spring’s meets, and much more.

Steeplechasing is an industry to some, a passion to many, a whimsy to a few, a mystery to others, but an asset to all in this region. It is a sport that is played on lush open spaces, available for the enjoyment of all. And, among a number of other notable facets, many worthy causes are supported. It’s also a wonderful way to spend a spring weekend, and a great way to preserve a tradition that began so many years ago.
