Usually held on the second Saturday of May at Nashville’s Percy Warner Park, the Iroquois Steeplechase is the premiere spring race in American steeplechasing and Music City’s traditional rite of spring – typically attracting more than 25,000 spectators.There’s nothing like the Iroquois. It’s the perfect combination of Southern gentility and sport with history and traditions that date back to 1941. In 2015 the Iroquois will celebrate 74 years as one of Middle Tennessee’s top sporting and social events, attracting the best horses and riders in America as well as the crème de la crème of Southern Society.
