Hippodrome d’Enghien-Soisy
Hippodrome d’Enghien-Soisy is a horse-racing track in Soisy-sous-Montmorency, France. It opened in 1879, at André Foulon.
History
Equestrian sports have been practiced in the area since 1860. However, it was only in 1879 when the pioneering obstacle course was established officially. Enghien was then one of the five racetracks of the Société des suburbains (La Marche, Le Vésinet, Saint-Ouen, Maisons-Laffitte and Enghien), taken over at its creation in 1886 by the Société Sportive d’Encouragement who purchased it in 1921. Then in the next year, 1922, the permanent track was built for trotting.
The Champ de Courses d’Enghien-Soisy Racecourse is one of the city’s main attractions specializing in trot and obstacle races. In 1986 it was renovated and equipped with a floodlight system. The Société d’Encouragement du Cheval Français managed it since 1997, and the racecourse is fully available for obstacle courses organized by France Galop.
Then since 1999, it acquired its current and official name, Hippodrome d’Enghien-Soisy. It is located at Place André Foulon, partly on the commune of Soisy-sous-Montmorency, France, situated 2 kilometers from the city center. In other words, 96% of its 44 hectares are in the municipality of Soisy-sous-Montmorency, and 4% are in the Eaubonne area.
Since 2009, it has been the site of a giant international pyrotechnic competition, then every year in April, the Prix de l’Atlantique takes place on the track.
