About this audio guide
This guide to Club Hípico de Santiago follows the Baeza family across four generations, from founding president Francisco Baeza Sotomayor at the track's first race in 1870 to modern-day trainer Patricio Baeza, whose champions include Kay Army, Fortino and Robert Bruce. It traces the family's path from breeding horses in far-off Pailahueque to becoming fixtures of El Ensayo, Chile's oldest classic race. Listen for the story of the iron-and-concrete grandstand that replaced the wooden one lost to an 1892 fire.
