"We are pleased to partner this year with one of Nashville's most time-honored and treasured events, Iroquois Steeplechase," said Sean Henry, President and CEO of SS&E and the Nashville Predators. "Recognized as the premier Spring event in Nashville, Iroquois Steeplechase is much more than a race, it is an event, bringing together more than 25,000 people each year for a day of excitement, entertainment and plenty of suspense and intrigue delivered by the race itself.
"Perhaps most importantly, the Volunteer State Horsemen's Foundation has been able to use Steeplechase as a vehicle to raise more than $10 million for the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt University over the years. We thank the Foundation for giving SS&E the opportunity to get involved and drive even more fans for Steeplechase and more revenue for the Children's Hospital and the event's other charitable partners."
By renting a box for the 2021 Iroquois Steeplechase, fans can enjoy the premiere race day experience with access to the most exclusive parties of the day and the best views of the finish line, where all the action can be seen. Limited boxes are available now and include armbands for eight or 10 people and two parking passes. Premium add-on options are also available in the Turf Club, Paddock Club and Iroquois Society.
Iroquois Steeplechase was first contested in 1941 in a valley at Percy Warner Park on a course that was constructed by the Works Progress Administration. Volunteers needed to put on the race came from local fox hunters, among others. Those volunteers later created the Volunteer State Horsemen's Association (now Foundation), which today remains the governing body of the race meet, under the leadership of Steeplechase Chairman Dwight Hall.
Events will be held throughout the day for children and families and awards will be presented for the most stylish dress for males and females, along with others. Cash bars and food trucks will be available on the property for attendees to purchase food, liquor, beer and wine. Additionally, attendees may bring their own food and drinks if desired, utilizing special tailgating spaces created for Iroquois Steeplechase.
