SARGA.CO—For those who want to experience the direct atmosphere of a horse racing arena, several key spots or areas are a must-know. Additionally, some tips can make the horse racing experience easier and more enjoyable. Want to know what they are? Here's the full breakdown!
A horse racing arena is not limited to just the track and the rows of grandstands for cheering on the jockeys and horses. Every corner of the arena plays a significant role in creating a unique viewing experience.
If you are watching horse racing for the first time, here are some important spots you should be aware of:
This area is the main gateway for spectators to enter the venue. This is where you purchase race tickets and the racebook, which is a guide to the competition. Each ticket category, from regular to grandstand to VIP, is clearly separated, ensuring a more orderly and smooth entry process for spectators.
The horse racing arena not only supports the equestrian ecosystem but also boosts the local economy around it. For this reason, an MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) area is provided to liven up the event. This spot is always bustling with unique local cuisine and merchandise. Furthermore, this area adds a festive atmosphere amidst the fierce competition.
Want to experience the horse races from a more strategic spot? The regular area is the perfect choice.
From here, spectators can directly enjoy the intense competition right on the edge of the track.
Although you are close to the action, safety is guaranteed by special barriers that maintain a safe distance between spectators and the race track.
This is one of the most comfortable spots to watch the duel between horses. Rows of covered seats mean spectators can enjoy the races without worrying about sun exposure or rain.
The VIP area offers an exclusive viewing experience with premium facilities, designed for spectators who value comfort and prestige. With two levels, this area provides a special view and premium services.
There are two VIP categories. Each category offers different exclusiveness.
This spot is the center of attention during the competition, where the best horses showcase their speed, endurance, and chemistry with their jockeys.
To ensure the race runs smoothly, there is a supporting area that provides a number of facilities, such as medical assistance and security.
This spot is the main information hub for spectators at the horse racing arena. Here, spectators can get guidance on the racing schedule, the various spots in the arena, and other supporting facilities.
The Help Desk also handles needs related to tickets and the racebook, as well as lost and found items. Essentially, this spot is designed to ensure every spectator can enjoy the race comfortably and without confusion.
Watching a horse race feels incomplete without capturing the moment. That's why a photobooth area is available, allowing spectators to document their presence at a race.
Every horse racing arena is, of course, equipped with a parking area to accommodate spectators' vehicles. The presence of this area makes the horse racing experience easier and more organized, even before spectators enter the arena.
The first time watching a horse race can often be confusing, especially if the arena is quite large. Here is a general process you can follow:
Spectators bringing a private vehicle can park directly in the designated parking area around the arena.
From the parking area, proceed to the main gate and ticket box. Here, spectators can buy tickets directly (on the spot) or exchange physical tickets purchased online.
Next, spectators can go to the entry line that corresponds to their ticket category, such as Regular, Grandstand, or VIP.
After the ticket is verified, spectators can pick up the racebook, a racing guide that contains the schedule, a list of horses and jockeys, a venue map, and other important information about the race. For the Grandstand ticket category, the racebook is included. For the Regular category, the racebook is sold separately at the ticket box.
With ticket and racebook in hand, spectators can head directly to their designated viewing area. While waiting for the race to start, take a moment to explore the MSME booths, which offer local cuisine and merchandise.
After the race, follow the exit signs to the parking area or designated pickup point. Make sure you don't leave any personal belongings behind.
According to The Jockey Club website, here are some tips you can follow to get the best experience when watching a horse race at the venue for the first time:
Avoid arriving close to the race start time. By getting there earlier, you can enjoy the preparation moments, which are just as interesting as the race itself.
2. Check Your Ticket and Area Access
Remember, each ticket has different access. For example, Regular, Grandstand, or VIP categories. Therefore, make sure the ticket you buy matches the spot you want to enjoy.
3. Wear Comfortable Outfits
Since the venue is quite large with many open areas, choose comfortable footwear. Don't forget to wear clothing suitable for the weather. For instance, bring a hat or sunscreen when it's sunny, or a raincoat in case of overcast weather.
By understanding these important spots, the entry process, and the tips above, you can enjoy the horse racing experience in a more comfortable, organized, and unforgettable way.
