As the evening light begins to soften over southern Chile, the hum around the paddock will slowly sharpen. The Concepcion Racecards of 16 December promise a meeting built not on spectacle, but on tempo. Nine races, tightly framed between 4:30pm and 8:30pm, will unfold at Club Hípico de Concepcion, where speed, balance and timing are expected to decide everything.
The meeting opens with Race 1, Brotado, at 4:30pm. Twelve runners will cover 1100 metres for a prize of CLP $1,050,000, setting the early tone for the evening.
At 5:00pm, Race 2, Bloqueador, sees nine runners compete over the same 1100-metre distance for CLP $1,105,000, providing a stage for younger and lightly exposed horses to test their speed and discipline.
Race 3, Brasileiro, follows at 5:30pm. Eight runners will again tackle 1100 metres for a purse of CLP $1,105,000, offering a chance for form and focus to develop further.
The pace sharpens with Race 4, Billa Al Fondo, at 6:00pm. Twelve runners will charge over 1000 metres for CLP $1,400,000, a contest where decisiveness from the gates will likely prove decisive.

Race 6, Borrego, at 7:00pm, is a short 900-metre sprint featuring nine runners competing for CLP $850,000. This race emphasizes alertness and balance over sustained rhythm and often resets the pace of the night.
At 7:30pm, Race 7, Batuco Man, stretches slightly to 1100 metres with thirteen runners vying for CLP $1,150,000. This race tests not only speed but stamina, as late-stage balance and control become critical.
The evening winds down with Race 8, Be Yes, at 8:00pm. Twelve runners will contest 1100 metres for CLP $1,050,000, where fatigue and focus start to influence outcomes.
Finally, the card closes with Race 9, Butragueño, at 8:30pm. Another 1100-metre test for twelve runners and a prize of CLP $1,050,000, this race is expected to reward composure under pressure and will leave a lasting impression on the night.
