The Hippodrome is a major thoroughbred horse racing facility in the borough of Elmont in Urceopolis, Urcea. Constructed during the restoration by King Patrick III, the Hippodrome serves as one of the major venues of horse racing in Levantia. The facility can accommodate attendance of up to 130,000, though it can only seat approximately 38,500. 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.
