Coordinate note: R1 means row 1, C1 means column 1, and R1C1 is the upper-left cell. These hints are the official English text.
(E) and (I) must be alone, either in the Concessions or Stables. They cannot be in the VIP Area because (K) is there, and cannot be in Betting because (I) cannot be sitting or on the carpet. If (E) and (I) were in the Concessions, (E) would be in C1, (I) would be in C2, and (K) would have to be in R2C3. This configuration would block all possible spaces for (J) to be beside a shelf (he cannot be sitting per (H)'s clue). This means (E) and (I) have to be in the Stables. Cross out the rest of C12.Amongst R1 - R4, we know that (K) is in the VIP Area, (F) is in the Jockeys' Room, and (E) and (I) are in the Stables. This means that no one else can fit in R1 - R4 since there are 4 people total. Cross out the Horse Track squares in R4.Since there are 4 Jockeys, we will need 4 rows to fit them. This means that the Jockeys will be in R5, R7, R8, and R9. Cross out all non-horse squares in those rows.Since the horse on R7C2 must be occupied, cross out all intersecting squares in C2. This isolates (J) to R11C1 and isolates (K) to R2C3. This isolates the horse in R5C9, cross out all squares that intersect C9.(G) is in R6C7 because she's the only person who can occupy that row. (V) cannot occupy that row since she would be alone in the Infield, or she wouldn't be alone with the murderer in the Horsetrack.This isolates (F). Then isolates (I) and then (E). This isolates (H) on the last chair. Then there should be four horses remaining that the Jockeys must occupy in order. This leaves the last square for (V) to be with (H) in the Stands. Hartley is the murderer!
