How many laps is the steeplechase?
Seven and a half is for 3000 meters. HOWEVER, since the water jump is placed either inside or outside the second bend, this alters the exact number of "laps" run (7.5). The most common place to find a water jump is on the inside of the second bend, which would make the laps smaller. Hence you would start the race 35 metres back from the 3,000m start point. Hence the answer is "just over" seven and a half laps.
Where was The Turf Hotel St Albans situated?
The Turf Hotel -formerly called The Chequers- was in Chequers Street, St. Albans quite close to Nomansland where the long considered "first steeplechase" in England was thought to have been run around 1820. However, the first known Steeplechase was The Loyalty Cup, run over 4 mile course between Ormskirk and Aughton in Lancashire which was dated 1760. Standhouse Lane in Aughton still has remains of one of the 'grandstands'. This race was eventually transferred some 5 miles down the road to Maghull called the Grand Liverpool Annual Steeplechase and in 1838 was moved to a new course then being built by William Lynn at Aintree when the rather long winded name was reduced to The Grand National.
