Background

The construction of The Horsemen's Track was followed by the granting of a 25-year franchise to the Hapi Jockey Club, Inc. (HJCI) by the Philippine government through Republic Act 11649 which took effect in March 2022. The franchise allowed the jockey club to operate race tracks in Batangas, Laguna and Cavite. Groundbreaking for The Horsemen's Track in Padre Garcia, Batangas took place on May 3, 2022.[1] The venue is projected to open in 2024.[2]

Facilities

The Horsemen's Track will be patterned after the Churchill Downs in Louisville, United States which will reportedly be a departure from other race tracks in the Philippines. The twin oval track will have a length of 1,600 meters (5,200 ft), a tunnel, as well as a gallery for spectators. It will be built on a 50 hectares (120 acres) land.[2]
