Special entertainment options during the races for your events at the racecours

Our staff will provide you with gaming doubloons and let you immerse yourself in the mythical world of the 1980s. You will have the chance to joke and compete with your friends, by emulating the actors from the famous Italian film ‘la mandrakata’. The racecourse’s electronic system will then count the winnings to select the winner of the competition.

To experience the energy of races is always an unforgettable experience, but to witness it from the close range of the van following the jury is truly thrilling. From the mini bus you will see the horses trot and understand the incredible speed at which they race, hear the excited cries of the drivers, and the crackling of hooves that makes the ground vibrate beneath you. You will follow the horses meter after meter until the final rush, after the last bend, when the adrenaline kicks in and only one jockey will win the race. It will be possible to organize a minibus ride for each race, with insurance and driver included.

For those who want to experience a unique thrill, the racecourse allows a simulated race. With a driver’s tunic and a protective helmet on, your friends will be sent to ride on the sulky alongside the professional drivers. The autostarter will enter the track and opening his wings, it will kick off the competition. The race will continue for two laps of the track, with the winner being captured in the photo finish. All the stages of the simulated race, from the dressing up, to the trotting race and the award ceremony will be captured with video footage and photos to make your experience unforgettable. (The race is covered by insurance and, due to the nature of the event, reserved exclusively for adults over 18 without disabilities)

Accompanied by the racecourse staff, you will have the chance to enter the track and award the cup to the winning driver next to the winning horse. Our well-trained photographers will capture the moment, that will live forever in your heart.
