The racetrack in Barbados is at the Garrison Savannah which is less than two miles outside the capital Bridgetown. It has been the home of horse racing since the colonial days of 1845. The Barbados Turf Club, which regulates and promotes horse racing in Barbados, was established in 1905 and organizes three (3) seasons of racing per year. |
These meetings run from January to April; May to August and from October to December. Click here for the current Barbados Horse Racing Calendar at the Garrison Savannah.
