<\/p>\n

\u201cThe George Sloan & John Sloan Sr. Sport of Kings Maiden Hurdle Race had 18 entries this year, which is the largest number of entries we\u2019ve ever had in this race. To make it a safe and fair race for all competing, we\u2019ve split this race into two divisions with nine horses competing in each division,\u201d said Dwight Hall, race chairman of the Iroquois Steeplechase. \u201cThis is the first time in the Iroquois\u2019 history that we\u2019ve split the maiden race.\u201d<\/div>\n
Hall credits the Iroquois\u2019 longstanding prestige, state-of-the-art race course, large purses and Nashville\u2019s southern hospitality as to why more horses are competing this year.<\/div>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled that our race is still growing after 72 years, and I know everyone attending will be excited to get more time at the races on Saturday,\u201d said Hall.<\/div>\n
