North American tracks such as Churchill Downs were constructed close to densely populated areas while Woodbine, for example, was erected in a remote area northwest of Toronto .and the city eventually grew around it.
European race courses are amazing as many including Epsom, Newmarket and Longchamp were originally constructed by simply utilizing the lay of the land.
The culture of racing from Racetrack to Breeding Farms to After care is an extraordinary worldwide experience.
