This Thursday, August 11, we will have an unavoidable date with Las Noches del Hipódromo, which surrounds us in “la movida madrileña”. It will be the last plan of this summer.
In the Madrid venue, entertainment is guaranteed, which, in addition to the horse racing show, also has an attractive gastronomic offer, cocktails and mixed drinks to cool off, in more than 20,000 square meters of gardens and terraces.
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.
The night will begin at 10:10 p.m. with the first race on jade award, reserved for riders and gentlemen, for horses and mares four years and older, not winners of a prize of 6,500 euros. Four candidates for victory, over the 1,200 meters of travel. The most valuable is Derd, With four straight in the money, winning with authority on his last, he should be the top seed despite doubts about his fiber performance. Sansevero will be his main rival, last week he ran without his jockey, dismounting Julia Zamudio, as soon as the drawers were opened, and despite running without a saddle he gave us a great comeback. She really likes the track. It will give a lot of war. Ideal that she is taking shape and positioning herself little by little, she will not make it easy.
Second will be the Maspalomas Award (Claim), for three-year-old colts and fillies, to be sold for €7,000, €9,000 and €12,000. Six participants will start from the 1,700 meter pole. Macadamia He is very fit and showing a lot of love for the track, he has just won in his two starts and with the release, he has everything to repeat. Panchineta He has the courage to appear here, he comes out very in weight, but he has never run in fiber, however, I think he is going to make things very difficult for the favorite. Vegetation he is doing very well this season, he also likes the court and the release also puts him in the fight.
The third race will be Raca Prize, descending handicap, for three-year-old colts and fillies. Seven contenders for victory, 2,400 meters of travel. Camarines comes from being third in the Diputación de Guipúzcoa, behind White King y Glorytof, here he excels, he should have no problem passing for winners. As main rivals I see Vinci Lisa Cham’s Dream y Sofunnybut as a surprise I like Iruña, I think he has more value than he has shown and here he has a good chance.
In fourth place will be the Peralta Prize (Lototurf), handicap split second part, for horses and mares three years and older, over the distance of 1,900 meters. Eleven candidates for victory. my favorite will be Cham’s Pride, comes from winning easy and likes fiber a lot, plus the release makes him have more chances to repeat. Melampo likes the court very much, he is getting back in shape and with the release he is more dangerous, the fight. Karluvy He carries excessive weight but he is a specialist in this type of race and does not fall from a finish, in addition, he has Vaclav Janacek’s top mount, he will be there again. Sogalinda is showing that he is very fit and also likes the track, she has just finished second Cham’s Pride, will make it difficult again. As a possible surprise, I like Americanismcomes from targeting in his last outings and here he could do very well.
The day will close, in fifth place, the Premio Pazkiksturm, first part split handicap, for horses and mares three years and older, also over the distance of 1,900 metres. Eight participants under the orders of the Start Judge. Under normal conditions it should be a hand-to-hand duel between Headhunter and Belador. Both are true cracks on this surface and will give us a nice show again. To complete the trio it will be much more complicated because it is very even and everyone has their chance. Anyway, the ones I like the most are Ballet Star y Orbayo.
great dining experience
Another of the great attractions during these summer days has been the gastronomic offer, with all the possibilities that there were 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.
As the last day, you can also enjoy:
Villa Panthera, located in the amphitheater of the racecourse, a gastronomic oasis in which the exoticism of the Far East merges 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 bear the imprint 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. Located in the south box, in front of the finish line and away from the heat and bustle of the capital, this terrace will be open to the public so that race fans can enjoy the best views of the capital, cocktails and mixed drinks.
To live the most exclusive horse racing experience, you can also reserve a Premium ticket and live all the excitement from the VIP boxes with open bar during the race day, and unparalleled views.
The broadcast of the horse races of the Madrid Hippodrome can be enjoyed on Movistar +. The LAS CARRERAS program is broadcast exclusively through the Sports channels on M+ (dial 53 and its multis).
In addition, the channel #Vamos por M+ (dial 8), also exclusive to Movistar Plus+, offers different content related to horse racing during the week, such as rebroadcasts and previews of the next days.

In the enclosure there are more than 2,000 free parking spaces, and also free buses leaving from 10:30 a.m. every 20 minutes as a shuttle from Paseo Moret in Moncloa.
