Famous Horse Racing Tracks Around the World

The racecourses that host the races everyone knows, from the Kentucky Derby and the Grand National to the Arc, the Melbourne Cup and the Dubai World Cup. A track earns a place by staging a race with worldwide standing or by looking like nowhere else, whether that means spires, a frozen lake or skyscrapers on every side. Each photo shows the course itself, and each caption names the city, the signature race and what sets the place apart. The gallery runs from North America through Britain, Ireland and Europe to the Middle East, Asia, Australia and South America.
