History

The Philippine Racing Club's original racetrack, Santa Ana Park, was built on 25NaN of land within Barangay Carmona in Makati.^{[3] [4] [5]}

In 1996, the Philippine Racing Club acquired a 147-hectare property in Naic, Cavite for a planned relocation of Santa Ana Park, and made a joint-venture agreement with the Sta. Lucia Realty and Development Corporation for the development of a new venue.^[1]

In 2009, Saddle and Clubs Leisure Park was opened, and the Santa Ana Park racetrack was transferred to this site.^{[3] [4]} The former site was converted into a mixed-used development under the name Circuit Makati.^[5]

In 2022, the Philippine Racing Club announced that "it will drop its horseracing business in November as it focuses on real estate development." Hence the Leisure Park shut down its operations.^[6]
