I never went to a trotting track before, so when they invited everyone for a Childrensday yesterday I packed my camera and went to check it out.
Conclusion: it's a lot like on film with the speakers filling the track with nonsense and endlessly long horse names. It is however not high class people with big hats and tiny drinks spending the day at the track, but rather ordinary people with children, french fries and LOTS of Curry Ketchup.
I still have no idea about how to play, but I'm sure that the people in the main building would be happy to help me out. If I wasn't able to understand Danish I would however be hesitant to even try it, as the speaker, the boards and the written material all was in Danish. What a shame.
If you want to go to the tracks yourself, you can see the dates with events on the season plan.
Admission is free, so is the parking - unless you want to park right at the track, which is 20 Dkr.
