Designed in 1913 to replace the then-used Trotter in Via Padova, the
Hippodrome of San Siro was inaugurated on 25 July 1920, with its construction work being slowed down due to the
World War I. In 1999 a statue of ''
Leonardo's horse'' was placed in the square in front of the racecourse. Together with the
San Siro stadium and the
PalaLido it constitutes the sports citadel of Milan. It is owned by Snaitech. == Features ==
