English term or phrase: steeplechase
This term means a horserace across open country or over an obstacle course. Is the simple transliteration स्टीपलचेज़__sTiipalacheza used for it in Hindi? Is there a better variant in Hindi?
swetlanka
बाधा घुड़दौड़
Explanation:
The steeplechase is a form of horse racing (primarily conducted in the United Kingdom, United States, France and Ireland) and derives its name from early races in which orientation of the course was by reference to a church steeple, jumping fences and ditches and generally traversing the many intervening obstacles in the countryside. In the UK and Ireland the term 'steeplechase' is not used, even though the term 'steeplechase' originates in Ireland: the term (and formal code of racing) is National Hunt racing.

It is a term now used to refer to a distance horse race with diverse fence and ditch obstacles; the most famous of these is the Grand National run annually at Aintree Racecourse, in Liverpool, since its conception in 1837.
