'''The Hippodrome''' is a major thoroughbred horse racing facility in the borough of [[Urceopolis_(City)#Elmont|Elmont]] in [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], [[Urcea]]. Constructed during the restoration by [[Patrick III of Urcea|King Patrick III]], the Hippodrome serves as one of the major venues of [[Horse racing in Levantia|horse racing in Levantia]]. The facility can accommodate attendance of up to 200,000, though it can only seat approximately 79,000. Unlike most other courses in [[Levantia]] and especially courses constructed in the style of [[Burgundie]], the Hippodrome does not allow paying spectators to picnic on the infield. | |||
The Hippodrome is typically open for racing from late April through mid-July (known as the Spring meet), and again from mid-September through late October (the Fall meet). It is home to the second of three races of the prestigious Triple Tiara, the Nanlucan Memorial Stakes. | The Hippodrome is typically open for racing from late April through mid-July (known as the Spring meet), and again from mid-September through late October (the Fall meet).
