Steeplechase: A race for Thoroughbred horses over jumps. Easy to understand is the concept of horse racing: the first one finished wins. Steeplechasing is the same except the race includes fences to jump. There are 250 sanctioned steeplechase races in the U.S., with nearly the same number of “unsanctioned" point-topoints (essentially the same sport run at more “minor league" levels) at one-day race meets throughout the East in spring and fall, and at summer stops at some of the country's finest racetracks.
•Steeplechase Horse: All steeplechasers are registered Thoroughbreds and most raced on the flat before being converted to steeplechasing. The best steeplechasers combine speed and jumping ability.
