Discover the horses in the show ring

Presentation round Sandrine Boyer Engel

Last lock before the access to the tracks, it is here that you can admire the horses before the big start. Jockeys, trainers, owners and spectators all meet at the presentation ring. The jockey receives final instructions from his trainer and then gets into the saddle. The horses can be examined very closely.

Look for the helmets - in the horse owners' colors - that will allow you to follow your horse during the race.
