TRYON, N.C. (WLOS0 — The National Steeplechase Association and Tryon International Equestrian Center have rescheduled the 73rd Annual Tryon Block House races from Saturday, April 13th, to Saturday, October 5th, 2019.
The change they say, will help provide optimum course conditions for both horses and jockeys.
"Horse safety is always our first priority, and, although the races could be run this spring, it is in the best interest of the horse and rider to reschedule," said Toby Edwards, race director for the Tryon Block House Races. "The course is developing very nicely, and I appreciate the commitment of Tryon to utilize this additional time to continue to create a world-class steeplechase facility for our sport."
National Steeplechase Association President Guy J. Torsilieri supported the decision of Tryon officials to reschedule the races. "Tryon International Equestrian Center is to be commended for making a difficult but ultimately wise decision to reschedule this year's races," he said. "Safety is the number-one priority for the NSA, and Tryon has acted in the best interests of the sport. By making the decision now, Tryon has provided sufficient notice so our horsemen can adjust their schedules accordingly."
