Horse racing comes to Dai Nam with new track opening
Officials hope that with the opening of a new race track on January 29 (the second day of the new Lunar New Year), horses and the Dai Nam Tourism Complex will soon become practically synonymous.
The new track spans some 60 hectares and, in addition to horses, it can accommodate dog, motorbike, go-kart, jet-ski and flyboard racing as well as a bevy of other entertainment events.
The grandstand can accommodate roughly 18,000 people, said Huynh Uy Dung, CEO of the Complex in a speech at the grand opening. We've been waiting a long time for this and we're excited that the opening is finally here.
He added that there is no betting at the track. All earnings from events are earmarked for charitable and social purposes.
