The Winners' Enclosure
After the race is over and the jockeys have “weighed in” in the weighing room, the winning horse, and often the placed horses, are led into the winners’ enclosure.

The Paddock
As raceday arrives and the horses reach the racecourse, they are first checked over – all horses have identity microchips – and then led to the track’s stables. The stables are where the horses are housed before and after the race and are not accessible to the public.
