French occupation for about one century. Edward Draper aimed at earning
the esteem and cooperation of the French population, and it is, with this goal
in mind, that he thought of organising horse racing in Mauritius. He believed
that a cooperative spirit could be developed if both parties, which were traditionally
rivals, were brought together in such an atmosphere of leisure. The
initiative was backed by Sir Robert Farquhar, the Governor of the island and
The Mauritius Turf Club was founded in 1812. On the 25th June of the same
year, the Champ de Mars racecourse was inaugurated and, on that day, was
held the first organised race meeting in the history of the island. Well situated
at the end of a prestigious avenue in Port Louis, the capital city, which,
in racing circles, is still called ―La rue du Gouvernement‖, the Champ de Mars
racecourse is ensconced in a natural depression at the foot of charming hills.
Today, the M.T.C rightly prides itself as being the oldest horse-racing club in
the Southern Hemisphere, and among the oldest in the world.
In line with the spirit that guided its foundation, the Mauritius Turf Club has
greatly contributed to the social life of the country over the years. Its meetings are highly praised by the
various social classes as it is an opportunity for everyone to get together in a relaxed ambiance. Moreover,
special meetings are organised traditionally to commemorate marked events in the country. For example,
such meetings were organised in 1927 for the visit to the island of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth,
while they were still Duke and Duchess of York, for the Bicentenary of the city of Port Louis and for the
celebration of both victories in the two world wars. Other distinguished visitors, namely Mrs. Indhira Gandhi,
Mr. Léopold Sedar Senghor, officially attended race meetings during their visit to Mauritius.
In the IXth century there were no permanent stands at the racecourse. Each year, temporary boxes were
built and they were hired ―on the spot‖ for the race meetings, except for the ones that were reserved for
the Governor of the island, the Mayor of Port Louis and the Club’s officials. Early in the XXth century the
infrastructure of the Club started to develop.
In 1906, the Club bought a colonial house situated at the 26, Pope
Hennessy Street, Port Louis and the Mauritius Turf Club Hotel was
born. This elegant house served as the Club’s headquarters for
almost forty years. In 1909 there was another major development
at the racecourse – permanent stands were built. Owing to a
growing attendance, the stands were upgraded in 1927 for the
visit of the Duke and Duchess of York and again in 1939 and 1954.
In 1986 new stands were built on the hillside, in order to accommodate
larger crowds.
