The Grand Raceway of Mora:

This is the most famous horse racing center of the Marches. The greatest horses and jockeys have been known to ride here and powerful people both native and offworld visit to watch the sport, to wine and dine, gamble, as well as to negotiate deals on the side.

Surrounding the race way is a giant stadium. Each seat is provided with suitable seating, and equipment to watch it either visually or electronically. A drone hovers over to beam a top view to guests. The favored seats of course are within visual distance but that is not needed.

The Grand Raceway is also a social center with restaurants, drinking spots, stores, and so on all either inside the stadium or around it. Adventures around it could include, espionage or political based plots, organized crime, etc.

This was inspired by the Jockey Club of Hong Kong.
