Dax Racecourse
It opened in 1835 at avenue Pierre Benoît.
History
Originally, the track was located on the site where it is currently an aerodrome, and now the track is situated in 3301 Avenue Pierre Benoît 40990 Saint-Paul-Lès-Dax – France. The Dax Racecourse Company was founded in 1835 spearheaded by M. J. Demoulin. In 1860, the Racecourse was purchased by Alphonse Campet for the sum of 10,000 gold francs on behalf of the town of Dax, 106 acres in the municipality of Saint Paul Lés Dax known as the Jardin des Plantes. During that time, there were only two or three race meetings every year, including the Grand Prix de la Ville de Dax on the town’s annual feast day. But in 1985, when the Racecourse Company of Dax merged with that of Biarritz, the track started to have 12 annual race days (5 with local betting and 7 with national betting). Then at the beginning of the 20th century, Olivier Tirlot, a leading trainer in France for three consecutive years (1930-1932), set up training tracks at Dax with 150 horses. In 1989, the new operator of the racecourse company was M. Jean Louis Gayan Sourgen until the recent day.
