Club Hipico de Concepcion dates back to 1918 when a group of horse owners commenced racing on a site known as La Pampa in the Barrio Norte area of Concepcion. However, the site soon became to small for the growing interest in activities and a new location was sought. The chosen site was an area known as Mediocamino which lay midway between Concepcion and Talcahuano. It opened for racing in 1920.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 28 April 1990, the facilities which were built largely of wood were completely destroyed by fire and the site was closed. Rebuilding took two and a half years to complete and in October 1992, Club Hipico de Concepcion was officially re-opened by the chairman, Octavio R\u00edos Espinoza with capacity for 5000 spectators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
