Horse Racing in Vienna
Austria has always been known for its horses and in Vienna the competitive sport of horse racing is alive and well. The city has three active racetracks that see action on a regular basis from the time the horse race club was organized and founded in 1874. Viewing horse races in Austria has been made open to the public in 1766 by Emperor Joseph II where before it was a sport reserved for the royalty and nobility.
