Seoul Race Park
Seoul Race Park is a horse-racing track in Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. It opened in 1989, at Gyeongmagongwon-daero.
History
The track was relocated three times, and the original location was at Sinseol-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, which was in operation from the early 1920s until just after the Korean War. Then it was relocated in Ttukseom, on the north bank of the Han River. In February 1983, after South Korea was awarded the 1988 Summer Olympics, the KRA was given the task of organizing the equestrian events, and the Ttukseom site was not enough, and the KRA obtained a new site south of Seoul in Gwacheon Gyeonggi-do. Hence, the second relocation happened, where the track is currently operating.
Seoul Race Park is also known as LetsRun Park Seoul or Seoul Racecourse Park. It is a 40,000 capacity Korean thoroughbred racetrack situated at Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, next to Seoul Racecourse Park Station on Line 4 of the Seoul Metropolitan Subway. It is operated by the Korea Racing Authority (KRA).
The information desk on the first floor has an English language form sheet available, detailed enough with a general idea of the best horse in the race. The track also has a more detailed guide and “expert” predictions available inside and outside. These two types of guides are with names such as “Ace”, “Speed” and “New World” which have the day’s card with predictions for each race costing 1000 won, and the other ones are more detailed with full of background information for serious punters. “Seoul Gyongma” and “Gyongma Munhwa” are the most popular, costing 4000 won. Every magazine has a kiosk inside the subway station, all available at the “Magazine Shop” by the main entrance. Buying these magazines has a freebie “sign pen”.
Track Details
The two sand tracks have the same inner and outer track circumference, 1,600m, and 1,900m, respectively. Both are 23m in width and widen to 30m in the home straight to accommodate a 450m run to the winning post. The track also has two grandstands: the Happy Ville, which can accommodate 35,000 people, and Lucky Ville, which can accommodate 42,000 people. Both are equipped with two stable areas: the Juam Stable area that can house 700 horses and Sampo Stable area for 600 horses. The Family Park inside the racetrack has rose gardens, children’s pony riding, racing simulation machines, and either wading pools in summer or skating rinks in winter.
