Steeplechase 2019

Thousands of spectators gathered this year for the Iroquois Steeplechase, which has become Nashville’s rite of spring.

C. Wright Pinson, MBA, MD, and honorary co-chair Jennifer Najjar, MD, presented trophies to the winner of The Margaret Currey Henley Stakes race at the 78th Iroquois Steeplechase on Saturday, May 11. Since designating Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt as its official charity in 1981, the Steeplechase has raised more than $10 million for the hospital. Thousands of spectators gathered this year for the event, which has become Nashville’s rite of spring.
