Barbados has been the habitat of horse racing since the colonial days of 1845 when the officers of the British Regiment were stationed in Barbados. The officers used this place as the parade ground to match their horses in races. The wealthy merchants and planters joined them later.

The track is a six furlong oval grass strip and races range in distance from five furlongs to 11 furlongs with the horses running in a clockwise direction
Home to the following Major horse races: Banks Guineas in March, Heineken Stakes on Boxing Day, Sandy Lane Gold Cup in March, United Barbados Derby in August and The 5000 in February.
