About

When the passion for horses meets the thrill of competition: it's time for flat racing!

Around fifteen flat racing meetings are held each year at the Pornichet Racecourse. Each meeting features 7, 8, or 9 races, with starts every half hour. Races last from 3 to 5 minutes, depending on the discipline and distance.
These meetings are broadcast on Equidia.

A PMU stand is available, offering introductory betting information.
