Caymanas Park is Jamaica's only race track.[1]
It was historically a sugarcane estate in the Colony of Jamaica . It was originally owned by the Ellis family, including George Ellis and Charles Ellis, 1st Baron Seaford , who made substantial profits from sugar and slavery .[2]
It features in the Pioneers ' 1969 song "Long Shot (Kick The Bucket)", which features the demise of the racehorse 'Long Shot' in a race, leading to "a weeping and a wailing down at Caymanas Park", and "All we money gone a hell".
Gangster Dennis Barth , known as "Copper", was killed in a shootout with police at the park. [3]
