The Moscow Hippodrome. Racing schedule 2014

For one hundred and eighty years, the Central Moscow Hippodrome has been operating. It occupies a huge territory, competing in area only with Kazan, Rostov and Krasnodar. The Moscow Hippodrome, whose history begins in 1834, is one of the largest and most popular in the Russian Federation.

Start of activity

The first race of horses took place on the Khodynka Field. Only twelve trotters participated in the competition. In 1834, only two days were spent. Already with the onset of the 1880s, the Moscow Hippodrome began to expand its borders. To attract the maximum number of spectators, the number of participants (the heads of horses) was increased. The races became more spectacular for Russians, not only trotting and smooth jumps, but also steeplechases and contest-ippics. The latest styles were very popular in those years, for them there are dedicated individual treadmills. All the improvements at the racetrack were held to attract viewers and popularize institutions of this kind.

When the civil war began, the Moscow Hippodrome ceased to carry out its activities. Military camps and rallies were held on its territory, one of which was delivered by Vladimir Ilyich Lenin himself. Races were restarted in 1921. Since that moment, the Central Moscow Hippodrome did not stop testing horses, a tote was held on the territory. From 1970 to 1983, trotting horses established more than fifty records of the USSR, and one - an absolute one. Since 1997, the hippodrome is run by a children's and youth horse-riding school.

Sweepstakes allowed

For many years of work, the CMI has experienced more than one thousand horses. In 1930, there were major changes in its history. Two hippodromes merge - due to the fact that the reconstruction of the railway junction of the Belorussky Railway Station was required. It is because of its expansion that the issue of transferring or restructuring the Moscow racing zone was raised. Because it was decided to merge the two racetracks into one. From that moment it became a combined one. In 2009, suspended the work of the tote at the Moscow Hippodrome. This slightly reduced the interest of the gambling to the races.

After three years (in 2012), the tote officially began to work, which made the Moscow Hippodrome more popular (the schedule of 2014 races and other periods can be viewed on the official site). The proceeds are sent to the development of horse breeding. Some of the revenues, of course, are involved in its operation and support. The betting cash desks work under the trademark "Sportbet".
