dog racing
A venue for timed dog races around a track, including associated seating, lounges, and other spectator facilities.
A dog racing facility is a place where dogs 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 dogs take part in timed track races. This distinguishes the venue from an area designated for obstacle courses or other agility games.
Spectator facilities surrounding the track are included. They support the racing use without requiring every venue to contain all the listed amenities.
