The Champ de Mars Racecourse was founded in 1812. It is the second-oldest racecourse in the world and the oldest racecourse in the Southern hemisphere. Its link to the British is an interesting one. The year the first race took place here is also the year the British took over the island from the French. And this was also the venue for the declaration of independence when they left.
