On September 16, 2023, a horse race will take place in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode. This news is not welcomed in the same way by everyone.

“A real first in the Brussels Region! wrote Mayor Emir Kir on his Facebook page. The event includes spectacular horse races and will mainly take place at Place Saint-Josse, in the heart of the Brussels municipality.

But this news does not delight everyone: the Brussels Minister Bernard Clerfayt (DEFI) reacted on X (ex-Twitter): “Seriously? ! Since 1986, it is expressly forbidden to organize a horse race on public roads on hard ground. He adds that it is necessary to “ensure and preserve the well-being of the horses concerned”.

An investigation is underway, according to the minister.
