	Steeplechase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The steeplechase is a form of horse racing (primarily conducted in the United Kingdom, United States, and Ireland) and derives its name from early races in which orientation of the course was by reference to a church steeple, jumping fences and ditches and generally traversing the many intervening obstacles in the countryside.
		The steeplechase originated in Ireland in the 18th century as an analogue to cross-country horse races which went from church steeple to church steeple, hence "steeplechase".
		The official world record in the 3000 m steeplechase for men is held by Saif Saaeed Shaheen of Qatar (formerly Stephen Cherono of Kenya) at 7:53.63 and was set on September 3, 2004 during the Ivo Van Damme Memorial in Brussels.

	What is Steeplechase Horse Racing?

		The first organized steeplechase racing began around 1830, and a basic steeplechase course is now 2-4 miles (3.2-6.4 meters) long and consists of a combination of obstacles such as stone walls, water jumps, brush fences,and timber rails.
		Steeplechase races are held at several Thoroughbred race tracks throughout the country, the most significant race being the U.S. Grand National Steeplechase at Belmont Park.

	THE STEEPLECHASE FOR WOMEN
		The 2000m steeplechase is not a pure middle distance race because of the different fatigue mechanisms that are evident between steeplechasing and flat running.
		Outdoors, when steeplechase facilities are not available, it pays to make use of the long jump pit with a firm obstacle placed in front of it to simulate the clearance action.
		In addition to these theoretical possibilities, it is advisable in the development of specific steeplechase endurance to use mainly long repetitions (3-4 x 1000 -1500m) with obstacles under cross-country running conditions, supplemented by 1500m steeple- chasing control tests on the track.

	2002 Saratoga Steeplechase Review
		Steeplechasing has a strong connection to Saratoga, as hurdle races have been contested there since the track first opened its doors in 1864.
		The betting handle on steeplechase races at Saratoga this year was comparable to those registered in recent years, with approximately $500,000 bet on each steeplechase race, or roughly half of the average handled on flat races at the meet.
		Despite the fact that steeplechase racing does not diminish the average daily handle, handicappers still wager less on steeplechase races than on flat races, a trend that doesn't exist in Europe where steeplechase racing is much more prevalent.

	The Church of Steeple - Why I worship the steeplechase. By Jeremy Derfner
		The steeplechase, though, is not too fast and not too slow—it's the sexiest of all the middle-distance events.
		The people steeple was modeled after the horse race (late one night by a drunk Oxford student, according to legend), and the horse race, in turn, was adapted from fox hunting.
		The pool is located directly behind a barrier, and the steeplechaser's ability to manage the double hazard with aplomb is the key to the race.

	The American Experience \| Coney Island \| People & Events \| Steeplechase Park Opens
		The first of the great Coney Island parks, Steeplechase Park, was the work of George C. Tilyou, and it grew from the sprig of envy.
		The fire that razed Dreamland in 1911 left Steeplechase virtually unscathed, but George Tilyou died in 1914, and by then Coney Island as a whole was beginning to slip out of step with the times.
		Today, the last sign that Steeplechase Park ever existed is the defunct Parachute Jump, purchased in 1940 from James H. Strong, a retired naval officer who originally had it built to train real-life paratroopers for service.

	History of Steeplechase Horse Racing
		The Jumping Game explores the ancient and passionate bond between people and horses, and traces the 150-year history of the steeplechase in the United States through archival film and photographs.
		Born in Ireland in 1752 - when at the end of a day’s foxhunting, two riders settled the argument of whose horse was best by racing to a distant church steeple - the sport crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the United States early in the 19th century.
		According to my research, the first race that was reported in The Sporting Journal was in 1834, and amazingly enough was right in Washington, DC.

		I know throwing in that extra lap in the steeplechase will make it more challenging and your legs will probably be more fatigued with the extra jumps.
		When I ran the steeple, a rule of thumb was to take your 3200/2mile time and that would roughly approximate your steeplechase time.
