Horse Racing in Mexico City

Hipódromo de las Américas is a thoroughbred and quarter-horse race track in Mexico City, that had its inaugural meeting on March 6, 1943.
It is located approximately four and one-half miles from the downtown district, on Lomas de Sotelo and is operated by Grupo CIE.
Races are frequent and facilities include the original club-house and grandstand, restaurants and seating for 20,000.
It is the home of the Mexican Derby, and many prominent jockeys have ridden there over the years.

The Race track is a good way to spend the afternoon especially if you come to mexico during "rainy" season as the races are run come rain or shine !
