Clairefontaine Racecourse
It opened in 1928, at Chem. de l’Hippodrome.
History
The racecourse is mostly known for Hippodrome de Clairefontaine or Clairefontaine Racecourse, which officially had its first racing on August 8, 1928. From 1928, there were only flat races on the track, and trotting meetings only started in 1932. In 1936, it was nicknamed “little Clairefontaine”. As more guests, more space was demanded; hence the SCPA decided to expand the racetrack by purchasing the land in Tourgéville, where two large tracks were built, flat and steeplechase and had its first races during the summer of 1937. However, the track closed in the Second World War in September 1939 and only reopened in 1949. On August 13, 1999, the track also had its first obstacle course and first racecourse in France to offer a night meeting in 2006. Hence, Deauville’s Clairefontaine racetrack became a triple discipline racetrack and, for the record, the only one in Normandy coast showcasing flat, trotting, and obstacle courses. It is situated in Route de l’hippodrome, 14800 Tourgeville, near Deauville in the Calvados département in the Normandy région of France.
