Hyderabad Race Club, Horse racing club in Malakpet, Hyderabad, India.
The Hyderabad Race Club is a horse racing facility in Malakpet featuring a professional track of 2000 meters long with dedicated training areas for thoroughbred horses. The grounds include modern spectator facilities and stand at an elevated location overlooking the surrounding area.
Horse racing in Hyderabad started in 1868 under Nizam Asaf Jah VI at Moula-Ali before moving to its current Malakpet location in 1886. The new site closer to the royal palace enabled expansion of the facility and attracted a broader urban audience.
The club serves as a social gathering place where Hyderabad residents come together during race days to witness and celebrate horsemanship traditions from across India. The annual Deccan Derby on October 2 draws competitors from different regions and remains deeply embedded in the city's sporting culture.
The club operates during two main seasons: July to October for monsoon racing and November to February for winter racing, with most events scheduled on weekends. Arriving early on popular race days helps secure good viewing spots, as the grounds can fill up quickly.
The racecourse sits at 542 meters above sea level, providing cooler conditions that are beneficial for horses during hot seasons. This elevated position also creates a sense of separation from the city below and offers sweeping views of the surrounding landscape.
