Hit the stables this year as Delawareans prepare for the 2021 Steeplechase races around the First State with COVID-19 safety protocols and loads of fun.

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.
