This is what a typical race day looks like:

The racecourse normally opens 90 minutes before the start of the 1st race (you can find the exact opening times here).

Approximately 20 minutes before each race, the horses enter the lead ring. The most promising candidates are presented to the audience.

At this time the jockeys also enter the lead ring and go to their team (owner and trainer), the trainer gives the jockey the order, an instruction on how the horse is to be ridden in the race.

Approx. 10 minutes before the start, horse and rider leave the lead ring and make their way to the starting area. Time for you to place your bets (note: during busy periods it is advisable to place your bets earlier to avoid queues).

Approximately one minute before the race, the starter gives the signal for the horses to move into the starting boxes - the race can begin.

After the race, the horses are placed in the heel ring in front of the weighbridge building.

The award ceremony also takes place there and the prizes are presented. The winning team is naturally delighted with the applause from the surrounding audience.
After the particularly valuable group races, the national anthem is played for the winning team.
The first horses then enter the lead ring for the next race - the cycle starts all over again. The usually eight to nine races a day take place at intervals of 30 to 35 minutes. You therefore always have time to visit the numerous exhibition tents and food and drink stands.

If you would like more detailed instructions on betting, you are also welcome to visit the Wettstar betting school next to the guide ring.

We wish you an exciting race day!
