A sixty hectares with a capacity of 11300 people, including 6000 in the stand. It also has sixteen hectares of grass trails, a fiberglass track, and a red dirt track. The outer Fibresand track is a perfectly level, left-handed oval measuring 1 3/8 miles with wide, sweeping Belmont-like turns. The oval has four layers: the one 1/4-mile turf course, the jump racing course, the trotting track, and the training tracks. The trotting bunch shares with the flat racing community, racing on 13 days and nights when the Thoroughbred crowd is off pursuing extracurricular activities.

Peculiarly, horses are all stabled on the “backstretch”, called the top of the stretch by the Americans. Then every morning, workouts are being practiced on track while trainers and jockeys rent apartments for the duration, just like they would at Saratoga or Deauville, France’s Normandy coast August getaway.
