The Saddle and Clubs Leisure Park is a mixed-used venue which features the Santa Ana Park racetrack in Naic, Cavite, Philippines. It hosts the Philippine Racing Club.^[1]^[2]

SCLP occupies 147 hectares (1,470,000 m²) and houses around 1,000 thoroughbreds as of 2018.^{[citation needed]}

History

The Philippine Racing Club's original racetrack, Santa Ana Park, was built on 25 hectares (62 acres) 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]
