1,600 horses.

• Most of them, including the new blocks constructed outside the backstraight, are air-conditioned.

• Close-circuit cameras provide round-the-clock surveillance of the stables. Fences and grounds are regularly checked by a team of security personnel.

• Spelling stables are also available for horses who need a break from racing.

• A new Veterinary Clinic was opened in March 2012 and is located close to the international stables.
