Grand Stand sold out for Gold Cup

There won’t be a grand entry for horse racing fans seeking to buy tickets at the last minute for the Sandy Lane Barbados Gold Cup Raceday.

That’s because all the tickets for seats in the popular Grand Stand at the historic Garrison Savannah have already been snapped up.

That confirmation came yesterday from the Barbados Turf Club’s (BTC) liaison officer Mohamed Mohammad, as he promised an action-paced 43rd running of the Caribbean’s most prestigious horse race over 1 800 metres, which carries an overall purse of $316 500.
