What can you experience during Kortebaandraverij Hoofddorp 

Curious how exactly such a race works? It's pretty simple! During the competition, two horses compete in a straight line of about 300 meters in length, according to the so-called 'knockout' system. The first horse to win two rounds advances to the next round. 

No more than 24 horses start in the first round of a short course. Horses fall off every round. The winning horses advance to the next round. The starting position for the next round is determined by means of a draw. This draw will take place immediately after the race. During the competition there are several judges who ensure that the horse trots according to the regulations. 

Feel lucky? You can also bet during the match! You can participate from a stake of € 1. Request the race cards via the organization to pass on your winning horses.
