The **Savills Chase** is a Grade 1 [National Hunt](/source/National_Hunt_racing) [steeplechase](/source/Steeplechase_(horse_racing)) in Ireland which is open to [horses](/source/Horse_racing) aged five years or older. It is run at [Leopardstown](/source/Leopardstown_Racecourse) over a distance of about 3 miles (4,828 metres), and during its running there are seventeen fences to be jumped. The race is scheduled to take place each year during the Christmas Festival meeting in late December.

## History

It was first run over its present distance in 1992, when it became known as the Ericsson Chase. This replaced an earlier event, the Black and White Whisky Champion Chase, which had been run mostly over 2+1⁄2 miles since 1986. From 2004 to 2016 the race was sponsored by [Lexus](/source/Lexus) and run as the Lexus Chase. The company ended their sponsorship in November 2017 and the race was run as the Leopardstown Christmas Chase.[1] In 2018 the property company [Savills](/source/Savills) took over the sponsorship and the race was given its present title.[2]
