Horse racing in Poland?

Horse racing in poland does it exist ?

I've just googled it and nothing came up, for a horse loving nation this seemed rather incredible. Now I'm not a gambling man but I do like track meeting for a day out and thought I could perhaps treat my cousins to a day at the races when I'm in Poland next, thats mid april this year.
So if anyone knows anything which may help......I'd be grateful :0)

There are some but not many indeed.

There are three race tracks in Poland. One is in Wroclaw. I have no idea when meetings take place, but if you search: horse racing in wroclaw... I'm sure that you will come up with something.

Edit. It seems I was a bit late.

i've been to the one in Wroclaw, it was the funniest time i had, could not bet as it was not allowed, a couple of the horses went the wrong way and had to turn back, but i could buy beer and sausage..

Thanks guys !

The one in Wroclaw may suit the bill....will be staying at Katy Wroclawskie I'll try to find out when the meetings are and with some luck have some fun.........

WHAT NO BETTING ??? How do they make money ?

wozzy, let me know when you are coming and i will ask the boss to look it up on the internet.

I don't know the answer to this, but we do have betting shops.

davidpeake....You'r a gentleman do'nt let anyone say different.

Flying out 14th april return 23rd.....

There is betting there now i think, send me a message a week or so before you leave to remind me.

Horseracing in Poland? Isn't this the frantic rush to get onto the trams? Hehehe

I really shouldn't laugh...but I can just see the jockeys on their horses cussing, as the horses go the wrong direction. My father would laugh pretty hard at that!

it was quite funny, to watch and then see them going the wrong way..

While it appears that Horse Racing in Poland is non-existant. Here in America, where horse racing is becoming non-relevant, the biggest race of the year is this Saturaday; the Kentucky Derby. I do some ameteur handicapping and my favorite for the race is a pony named "Pyro," althought the poll positions aren't fixed yet (they're happening as I type this) so all this is moot. However, this Saturday being an important day for Poland as well, I'm looking forward to sitting back with a vodka and watching the race. Cheers!
