and make sure you watch
12.00pm The Cross-Country Chase - I doubt you have seen anything like this down at Churchill Downs, Beulah Park or even Santa Anita - LOL ! This Cross-Country Chase links the modern day racing back to its original roots, when some gentleman raced to a church steeple over any obstacles that they came up against - hence the variety of fences and the twisty course and hence the name "steeplechase".
If you Yanks want to see 1 race today - for novelty & interest value - you have to see 12.00pm The Cross-Country Chase.
I think all races are live on TVG & HRTV
If you want some deeper form and reading try the 2 English horse racing industry web-sites.
