The Colombo Race course, then owned by the #Colombo Turf Club was opened for racing in 1893. During World War II this was a temporary Airfield for the #RoyalAirForce. After the war the #Airfield was dismantled and #HorseRacing resumed. It was banned permanently after #Ceylon gained Independence. The state took it over in 1958 and was used for various functions at different times. However it was brought to glory in 2011 under the 'Colombo City Beautification project' with the earnings of the hard-working People of #SriLanka!
