The game of Steeplechase racing goes back to 1752 in Ireland when 2, half-crocked, mates settled the debate over who owned the best pony by racing to the closest Church steeple after returning from Fox hunting.
In the early 19th century 9 distinguished men from Long Island – Aug Belmont, H Howland, James O Keene, John G Prince set up the nation’s organisation for Steeplechase. When it was first set up, its mission was to make the game popular in America and help it grow across the Atlantic.
Steeplechase races are held at twelve states across the land and the accumulative purses for these events are $5 million yearly.
Thus it also draws the strongest and the influential males and females.
Others are The American Grand State that began in 1899 and the the nation’s Hunt Cup in Radnor, Pa. Eire would have been slower to recognize and react to the superbug threat than the United Kingdom and some of its other ECU neighbours but improved cleanliness measures have been but in place and the new administration structure for the health service will see the different health boards operating in a more co-ordinated demeanour than during the past and already there’s a countrywide cleanliness audit of all surgeries in progress.
