Contents: Publisher's Note:

American Steeplechasing /em> is not a new work. It is the continuation of the efforts of John E. Cooper, the editor of Steeplechasing in America, which was putlished from 1948 through 1976. With Mr. Cooper's retirement from the sport, that he served so well, in so many capacities, the annual volume "lives" under the direction of Charles T. Colgan.

American Steeplechasing /em> closely patterns the objectives of its successful predecessor. First and foremost the book depicts, in word and photo portraits, a complete year of competitive steeplechase activity in this country. In addition to the year in review, statistics of all kinds (past and present) highlight the volume, along with the invaluable Daily Racing Form charts which chronicle every race of the 1977 season.

Book includes NSHA officials and membership roster, plus separate indexes of riders and of horses.
