GRAND ANNUAL STEEPLECHASE

 

May 1890
In 1890 all of the races on the card at the two days of the May meeting were either Hurdle or National Hunt Flat races; no steeplechases were contested.

The Worcester Grand Annual Steeplechase is intrinsically linked with the Aintree Grand National, its inaugural running taking place in 1836, the same year the first 'unofficial' Grand National took place.

Another famous race from days gone by, the Land O' Plums Steeplechase, formerly run at Pershore Racecourse, has now been reinstated at Worcester racecourse.
