Kincsem Park is a major horse racing venue in Budapest, Hungary. The 84-hectare park, named after the racehorse Kincsem, can accommodate thoroughbred racing and harness racing, and can also be configured as a concert venue.[1] Although the track experienced a drop in attendance in recent years, it has enjoyed new popularity among racing fans due to the success of Hungarian racehorse Overdose.[2] In August 2009, Madonna performed in front of a sold-out crowd of 41,000 fans as a part of her Sticky & Sweet Tour.
