Jockey Club de São Paulo

The Jockey Club de São Paulo is a horse racing venue in Cidade Jardim featuring a two-story building with spacious grandstands overlooking the main track. The facility includes betting stations, spectator areas, and landscaped gardens surrounding the racing ground.

The club relocated from Mooca to its current location in 1941, when architects Henri Sajous and Elisário Bahiana designed the Art Deco building. This move established the venue as a major center for horse racing in the region.

The venue remains a gathering place where visitors witness traditional horse racing practices rooted in Brazilian sporting culture. The social mixing of spectators from different backgrounds happens naturally during race days.

Visitors should plan to arrive on weekends since races run only on Saturdays and Sundays. The venue offers free admission and is easy to navigate, with betting options available throughout the grounds.

The building received heritage status from both CONDEPHAAT and Conpresp, recognizing its architectural and cultural significance. This designation makes it a rare surviving example of 20th-century Brazilian sports architecture.
