I was born and still live near the Garrison Savannah and have many childhood memories of Horseracing in the late sixties into the middle seventies. I wonder if people remember that Polo was first played on the Garrison Savannah, and there was also goat racing with most of the goats and runners from the district of Brittons Hill. Also at the Garrison there was lots of cricket matches. There was also two exercise tracks for the horses, dirt and sand. During the week of the races the horses would go through their final paces doing box to box on the actual race track. In the early days there were no starting gates, there was a flying start with strands. Kadooment had it's ending from Bridgetown with the burning of Mr.Harding at this very historic place called the GARRISON SAVANNAH.
