Deauville-La Touques racecourse

Deauville-La Touques is the racecourse with the most races in the year! It has earned its nickname of the "4 seasons" racecourse, with a program of some forty days of flat racing, the discipline in which the speed of thoroughbreds is expressed to the full. In August, the racecourse organizes its famous Meeting de Deauville Barrière, a month of intense sport where prestigious races (Group 1) follow one another and the training center grows from 400 horses year-round to 700 in summer. Every year, elite riders and an international clientele flock here to watch the many races that have earned it its reputation: Prix Rothschild, ARC Prix Maurice de Gheest, Al Rayyan Cup Prix Kesberoy & Doha Cup Prix Manganate, Prix du Haras de Fresnay-Le-Buffard Jacques Le Marois... and to round off the summer season, the Lucien Barrière Grand Prix de Deauville.

In 2003, it was the first racecourse to inaugurate a fibre-reinforced sand track, enabling it to organize races in winter. Its grass track takes over in summer, sometimes at night thanks to its new-generation lighting.
