The Grandeur of Steeplechase Season in the Main Line Region
For more than 90 years, steeplechase racing has been cherished spring ritual in Southeastern Pennsylvania and Delaware.
Willowdale Steeplechase
Willowdale features a world-class steeplechase course in a community known for its top jockeys, trainers and owners. After competing at the highest levels in steeplechase and polo, W.B. Dixon Stroud Jr. decided it was time for a top-notch steeplechase event in the heart of Cheshire Hunt Country. Combining his love for the sport and his commitment to the community, Stroud enlisted the help of many others for the first running of the Willowdale Steeplechase in 1993. Since then, the event has raised over $1,000,000 for local charities.
