Tens of thousands turned out for the 69th running of the Block House Steeplechase Saturday at FENCE. Picnics, sundresses, elegant hats, tailgating, family and friend reunions, and the sights and sounds of thoroughbreds thundering past make Steeplechase the premier, historic event that ushers in spring in the Foothills. Pictured are the Green Creek Hounds enjoying their opportunity to show off for the crowds. (Photo by Steve Wong)
