The racecourse Renbaan Duindigit, which opened in 1906, is located near the town of Wassensaar in The Netherlands. The town, an affluent suburb 8 miles north-east of The Hague, with a population of 26,000, is on the west coast. The left handed oval turf track has perimeter of 8 furlongs, offering programmes of Flat racing, infrequent jumping and trotting in a season extending from March until October. The principal Flat race is the Dutch Derby which is staged in August, although the Grote Prijs Der Lage Landen in June commands interest, but arguably the most popular event is the Dutch Trotting Derby which was first contested in 1907. |
