The racecourse Hipodromo El Nuevo Comandante can be found in the city of San Juan in Puerto Rico. It is situated 32 kilometres east of San Juan in Canovanas and opened for racing on 31st October 1976. The left handed dirt track has a perimeter of 8 furlongs and holds racing throughout the year, 5 days per week, including racing on Saturday and Sunday. Its principal race is the Group I Clasico del Caribe for 3 year olds, held at a variety of racecourses which was first run over 9 furlongs in 1966. The inaugural winner was the appropriately named Victoreado ridden by Gustavo Avila. In 2006 the course was sold and renamed Hipodromo Camarero. The track also holds the Clasico Luis Munoz Rivera Memorial for 2 year olds over 1200 metres in July and the Clasico Camarero. I am grateful to our American Racing Correspondent Richard Gauthier for the scan of the tip pin shown below.
