hippodrome

I am the best-educated horse outside of the hippodrome, everybody says, and the best-mannered.

A large tract of this district was formerly covered by a race-course known as the hippodrome.

"I thought we were all going somewhere—to the Hippodrome, Peter," Biddy said.

Upon reaching the palace, I was told that the Emperor was exercising at the hippodrome, toward which I then bent my steps.

The Hippodrome is a public place near the wall of the palace, set aside for the king's sports.
