More than 180 years of horse racing came to an end in Singapore recently, as the Singapore Turf Club hosted its final race day before its track is handed back to the government to provide land for new homes.
Horse racing isn’t the only sport to succumb to the housing expansion. The last 18-hole public golf course closed earlier this year for redevelopment.
The Turf Club’s final home was built as a S$500 million ($384 million) state-of-the art facility, with air-conditioned booths, floodlighting for night races and a grandstand capable of hosting 30,000 spectators.
