Whenever there is a horse race, this place will be very lively. You can pay to sit in VIP spectators, have free spectators, and you can choose to watch the match on the outside. Generally locals will choose to watch outside, where you can see beautiful horses and riders so close, the atmosphere is better, there are many snack stalls. Like a carnival.
