With the promise of historic firsts, international stars, and a premium experience, racing enthusiasts turned out in their numbers last Saturday for the second running of the Mouttet Mile Invitational at Jamaica’s home of horse racing: Caymanas Park.
But it was the infield experience that got the Page 2 nod. Building on the success of the previous year, the lounge — which has become the place to watch the races at the Mouttet Mile — played host to a Kings and Queens of Caymanas Park-themed affair where guests were encouraged to put their best style foot forward for a day of betting and bragging.
Here are the highlights.
