A categorized regional trot center, located at Route de Saint Nazaire BP 71006 53010 LAVAL CEDEX, 5 minutes from downtown Laval center, opened in 1889. However, it was originally located at Changé and relocated to Beau Soleil, route d’Entrammes, in 1910. Still far from urbanization, the owner relocated the course again in 1985 at Bellevue, route de Mayenne. This time, the Société des Courses settled for sixty years.

            Jean de la Vaissière de Lavergne, who worked to transfer the racecourse to Bellevue, contributes to the influence of the Mayenne trotting on the national and international stages. After his death, Michel Lepecq succeeded him, becoming President of the track from 1952 to 1963. After he died in 1963, he was replaced by André de la Vaissière de Lavergne (son of Jean), who created the first hard track, equipped with lighting for the nocturnal in 1962. He occupied the presidency until 1977 due to his death. The committee then appointed Maître Jouanne as President. Jacques Moreau became President in 2000. In the same year, the Laval racecourse was named the most dynamic racecourse on the Grand National du Trot circuit.  Today, the Société des Courses de Laval has a total of 25 annual meetings, including 18 Premium meetings with a national audience, and welcomes more than 50,000 visitors per year. Moreover, it is now ranked among the best of 260 racing companies and has greatly contributed, through its dynamism, to the global influence of Mayenne horse racing.
