A heartfelt thank you to all of our wonderful sponsors and amazing guests who helped make Gold Cup Village such an unforgettable experience. 🏇✨

Your support, energy, and enthusiasm are what bring this event to life every year, and we truly appreciate each and every one of you who joined us to celebrate race day in style.

We loved sharing the day with you!

Stay tuned… more highlights and special moments are still to come. 📸🥂

As Barbados journeys toward 60 years of Independence and five years as a Republic this November, moments like yesterday at the Garrison Savannah remind us of the excellence that lives in this country.

With another victory in the Sandy Lane Barbados Gold Cup, the most prestigious horse race in the Caribbean, Jalon Samuel has extended his record as the jockey with the most Gold Cup wins.

More than the record, Jalon represents the power of youth, discipline and determination. Year after year he brings thousands to the Garrison and inspires many young Barbadians to believe that excellence in sport is within reach.

Jalon, we salute you. We hail you. We congratulate you. Continue to do Barbados, yourself and your family proud.

Gold Cup Village is officially SOLD OUT. Thank you for the incredible support and for choosing to spend race day with us.
