History
Horse racing in Hyderabad was started by the Nizam's in 1868 at Moula-Ali. In those days the races were called Deccan races and later Hyderabad races. In 1886 racing shifted to Malakpet by H.H Nawab Mir Mahboob Ali Khan, Nizam VI as he wanted the race course to be near his palace. Hyderbad Race Club started its operations in 1961 in Secunderabad and shifted to Malakpet in 1968 when the racing was revived under Hyderabad Race Club.
