Barbados Turf Club
Horse Racing at the Garrison Savannah
About
The Barbados Turf Club runs live horse racing at the historic Garrison Savannah. This long-standing Barbadian tradition draws both locals and visitors. The racetrack sits inside Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and delivers a full day of racing, betting, and hospitality.
Racing continues throughout the year and features major events such as the Sandy Lane Barbados Gold Cup.
What You Can Expect
Race days shift between afternoon, evening, and occasional night racing. Post times change often, so arrive at least one hour before the first race. You get enough time to collect your racing program, find your seat, view the horses saddling, and watch the jockeys weigh out.
Choose from General Entry, Grandstand seating, VIP Grandstand, or the Incitatus Members Lounge. Each option gives you a different level of comfort and a different view of the track.

- VIP Grandstand: BDS 60
- Grandstand: BDS 40

Prices subject to change.
