Entries Announced for 73rd Running of the Iroquois Steeplechase

Just a reminder that the much-anticipated Post Positions Drawing is tomorrow, May 8, from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. at Percy Warner park (near the barn). I have attached an advisory with more information as well as the entries for tomorrow’s drawing.

The drawing is one of the oldest traditions of the Iroquois and determines the horses saddlecloth numbers for the day’s seven races, including the Calvin Houghland Iroquois Steeplechase Grade I Hurdle Stakes.

Key Iroquois officials will be in attendance and available for interview/comment after the drawing. I’ll also have past performance sheets (for sports writers) and will distribute a release announcing each horse’s position after the drawing concludes.

Additional documents are attached that may be of interest to you, including background information and bios.

Hope to see you there!

Cheers,
Molly
