Klampenborg racecourse
The Klampenborg racecourse ( Danish: Klampenborg Galopbane ) in Klampenborg near Copenhagen was opened on June 5, 1910 with six horse races .
The Scandinavian Derby has been held at the Ermitage in Dyrehaven since the 1870s . Since the Scandinavian Derby was always won by German horses, it was discontinued in 1895.
It was not until 1910, after the Klampenborg racecourse opened, that the derby was given the new name of the Danish Derby . Since then it has been repeated annually, with only three-year-old horses born in Scandinavia being allowed to compete.
The main grandstand racecourse - including Royal Tribune called - is said to have originally stood at the World Exhibition in Paris 1900's. The administration of the racecourse, then called the Klampenborg Racecourse, bought the building, had it dismantled and shipped to Klampenborg in large wooden crates. The grandstand was rebuilt there.
The racetrack is 1,800 meters long, and races between 600 and 4,000 meters are ridden. Every year around 200 races are held on the racetrack from April to November .
Important races are the Scandinavian Open Championship , the Dansk Derby and the Dansk Oaks .
