Spanish term

redonda

Spanish to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation
This seems to be part of a race track. From the scene in a script by an Argentine filmmaker:

José sale a la redonda tambaleando por las escaleras, con la Virgen en la mano. El peón le entrega el caballo y José la Virgen.

From the context, it's clearly a place in the track: the jockey, José, is walking from the locker room to mount his horse.

Thanks

parade ring / (main) horse paddock but also pre-parade ring

Depending on the context and the rest of the scene this would be either the parade ring or the pre-parade ring, see below;

The pre-parade ring and paddock

Often referred to as the parade ring, the horse paddock is where the runners in the forthcoming race are paraded for racegoers to get a proper look at them. The parade also gets the horses moving and relaxed.

The horses do not start in the parade ring, though, as after being transported to the track and checked over, most horses go through the pre-parade ring first. This is situated closer to the stables and the horses are not kitted out yet with racing equipment such as their saddle. The horses are led around by their grooms, with the process designed to help them stay warm and focused. Racegoers can get an early look at the horses without saddling equipment to assess their raceday demeanour and fitness.

Nearer race time, horses will move from the pre-parade ring to the main paddock.

neutral philgoddard : If a parade ring is the same as a paddock, you should have agreed with Liz.

Yes but it is really more known as the parade ring or main paddock or horse paddock, not just a generic ring or paddock , Parade ring is the preferred term and has more google hits than horse paddock, there are also paddocks for hens, etc
agree Muriel Vasconcellos : Also, you provided good references.
