The anticipated return of live races at Caymanas Park on Saturday, November 15, marks a significant milestone for Jamaica’s horse racing industry, which has managed to evade the worst impacts of Hurricane Melissa. While the storm inflicted considerable damage on the infrastructure of two major stud farms and the stable area, the swift resumption of commercial operations is expected to play a crucial role in the ongoing repair and rebuilding efforts. This resilience is emblematic of the industry’s ability to bounce back from adversity, a trait that has been tested repeatedly over the past five decades.
