Triple Crown
The Steeplechase Triple Crown is alive and well with three $100,000, Grade I stakes races, television coverage and a visit to a major racetrack.
After Louisville, Ky.’s Churchill Downs opted not to renew the Hard Scuffle Stakes (Gr. I) for 2004, and Pimlico (in Baltimore) passed on hosting the Joe Aitcheson (Gr. I) while a slots bill gets batted around Maryland, two National Steeplechase Association race meets stepped up and agreed to card major novice hurdle stakes this spring.
The series consists of the Georgia Cup at the Atlanta Steeplechase in Kingston, Ga., April 10; the National Hunt Cup at the Radnor Races in Malvern.
