For nearly 200 years, American jump racing has been about people’s experiences.
It lets your emotions, self-expression and competitive side have fun.
In a country setting where family and friends tailgate amid the backdrop of galloping horses sailing over hurdles or timber, there are rushes of adrenaline measured in minutes, where everyone gets a reset after each race.
Steeplechasing is about owners’ dreams, spectators’ interest, trainers’ knowledge, organizers and officials’ vision, and jockeys’ skill intersecting to create memorable experiences.
The TGSF is dedicated to promoting steeplechasing so these experiences will remain.
IN 2021, TGSF WILL PROVIDE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE NSA LIVE STREAM, BRINGING THE SPORT DIRECTLY INTO THE HOMES OF FANS.
