Horse Racing in Mauritius

The Champ de Mars Race Track is one of the oldest race course in the world. It has always been the main venue for horse racing in Mauritius and may it still be for a long long time.

It is classified as a historical place as it has been present since 1812.

its kinda a difficult and tricky track with only a final straight of 300m and during the final curve, one needs to know where to place his horse for the final run.

The most prestigious race is the Maiden Cup where big prize money and stakes are to be won and it almost requires two laps of the champ de mars race track.

Last Saturday i was overwhelmed to see my favourite horse for this year winning his first ever race in Mauritius.

but my favourite horse of all times remains and will always remain the valiant:

won 2 consecutive maiden cups and has still the best time for the 1800m race and on which i had the chance and the pleasure to ride :)
