Perla Antillana
A historic horse racing track in Santo Domingo, located in the Ensanche La Fe neighborhood where the Plaza de la Salud medical complex stands today. Opened by dictator Rafael Trujillo in 1944 and closed in the 1990s, it was the center of horse racing in the country. It was famous for the Paraguay curve, the final turn before the home stretch, and the legendary race calls of announcer Simon Alfonso Pemberton. (Rafael Trujillo was the dictator who ruled the Dominican Republic from 1930 to 1961).
