Hippodrome de la Prairie de Caen

Highlight • Structure

The first trotting race was organized in the Prairie on August 26, 1837, by the Caen Agricultural and Commercial Society. On February 13, 1839, the city decided to create a permanent racecourse. In August of the following year, it was agreed to build stands to accommodate spectators. In 1845, the earth from the digging of the Caen-Sea Canal was dumped in the Prairie to build the racecourse. On October 21, 1864, the Society for the Encouragement of the Improvement of the French Half-Blood Horse was created in Caen to regulate the trotting racing code for the whole of France.
