A thoroughbred racehorse and mounted jockey pass stands filled with spectators evaluating the race participants in Korat, (Nakon Ratchasima), Thailand.
The Belmont Stakes takes place tomorrow at Belmont Park in Belmont, New York. It’s not the only place that hosts horse racing however. In Thailand, a racetrack in Korat, (Nakon Ratchasima) fills with roughly 10,000 fans on certain Saturdays. The crowd is predominantly composed of men but the day I attended, about 10 women were there too!
If you go to this event, you may be the only foreigner on the scene but a tote board updated by hand will display all to information an equine inclined individual might need.
