Hunt Cup.
First Chase Run in '69.
The first steeplechase was not

races had been introduced from

and there had been few hurdle
races at several tracks, mostly in
Canada, but they we're only mild

and sod-banked hedges. It was
held at Hampstead Plain, which,
incidentally, was the oldest racing
ground in America. Six horses
started and Hobson's Choice, "a
robust half-bred brown gelding
ridden by Stanley Mortimer. was
the winner"
