horse-racing
A venue for timed horse races around a track, including the surrounding spectator facilities.
A horse racing facility is a place where horses run around a track in timed races. The usage applies also to spectator facilities around the track, including betting parlors, skyboxes, lounges, and seating areas.
The horses compete in timed races on the track. This is distinct from grounds used for general recreational riding or other equestrian displays.
Associated spectator seating and lounges are included in the venue usage. Betting facilities can accompany the races without being required at every track.
