This Thursday, July 7, we will have a new day of horse races and much more… It has been 35 years since Las Noches del Hipódromo began, and “La Movida Madrileña” has been playing again since last Thursday, June 30.
This year the venue is filling up again with live shows, night races, gastronomic plans and great excitement to fully enjoy the summer nights in Madrid. There is also Las Noches del Hipódromo with a double session of horse racing a week, with sessions on Thursdays and Saturdays during the month of July, and August until Thursday 11.
The doors of the venue will be open from nine, with the first race at 10:10 p.m., on the sand track, and the concerts will begin at 11:30 p.m., on the north garden.

My favorite is Hades, is the one with the most value and a priori should have no problem passing as winners. I see to Pelliquero as main rival. Aldufoof, to complete the trio.
Second will be the Premio One To Two, first part split handicap for horses and mares three years and older . Four candidates for victory. 1,700 meters of travel. The one I like the most is i promise He comes from being second showing form, he likes the sand and does the distance very well, he will be in the fight. the other three rivals and in this order, Vale, Elamirr and Tannhauser they will not make it easy for you
The third race will be Florentino Gonzalez Award, in tribute to one of the great jockeys of our turf; for three-year-old colts and fillies, not winners of two races. Seven contenders for victory from the 1,200 meter pole. The ones I like the most are Fiji Gold, Blue and Flattered. All three are showing form and I see them in the fight for victory. For me, the trio of the race.
In fourth place will be the Final Straight Award (Lototurf), handicap split second part for horses and mares three years and older. Nine contenders for victory. Also 1,700 meters of travel. Natural Talent He is getting back into shape, last year he won twice in the summer season and I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes it very difficult this time.

Seven participants, 2,400 meters of travel. Lisicles He is a colt with great potential that in this company stands out as the clear favorite, he should be the horse to beat. I like it a lot Candy Rahy that little by little is appearing and here I see him in the fight. Vinci Lisa It comes from being third the other day, showing that it can be there again.
Another of the great attractions during these summer days will be the gastronomic offer. We tell you all the possibilities you have to come to dinner at the racecourse:
A selection of 16 Foodtrucks has been put together, distributed throughout the racecourse grounds to offer you a wide gastronomic variety that ranges from the most sophisticated hamburger to the essentials, such as ham sandwiches.
Villa Panthera, located in the amphitheater of the racecourse, a gastronomic oasis in which the exoticism of the Far East will merge with the warmth of Latin America. The menu is in charge of the Peruvian chef Luis Arévalo, one of the pioneers of Nikkei food in Spain. At midnight, Panthera will show us its wildest side and will transform into a club to drink and dance to the sound of tribal and Latin rhythms. In addition to its restaurant, Villa Panthera will also include a gastro gourmet area with food trucks and a Clicquot Champagne Bar.
At the foot of the track, from the Calor by Ramón Freixa restaurant, you can enjoy the thoroughbred races closer than ever while enjoying signature cuisine. The menu will feature the stamp of the prestigious Catalan chef with two Michelin stars and three Repsol suns, Ramón Freixa, a true specialist who combines the most avant-garde techniques with flavors and references to traditional cuisine.
The mythical Casa Sweden, where the great intellectuals of the 20th century met, also moves to the Hippodrome of Madrid during summer nights.
