Selangor Turf Club
03°02′44.01″N 101°42′51.83″E / 3.0455583°N 101.7143972°E
Selangor Turf Club is a horse-racing track and cricket ground located in Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia. It is one of four horse-racing courses in the country; the other two are in Ipoh, Perak, Penang and Kuching, Sarawak.
Selangor Turf Club was founded in 1896. For nearly a century, races were conducted at Ampang Road, which is today the site of Petronas Twin Towers, the world's tallest twin skyscrapers.
In 1993, the Club relocated to its present site in Serdang while its previous Ampang Road racecourse made way for the KLCC/Petronas Towers project.[citation needed]
The Selangor Turf Club Triple Crown race series comprises the three Malaysian Group 1 races run at Selangor throughout the year.
However, since its inception in 2003, no horse has won the Triple Crown series. In 2005, Superb Classic trained by Cecil Robert won the first two legs of the series which is as close as any horse has got to winning the Triple Crown.
The Main Racing Track can cater for distances ranging from 1,200 to 2,400 metres races and 25 metres width and is a left-handed oval-shaped grass track turfed with Zoysia El-Toro turf. The Zoysia El-Toro turf track has a deep-rooted system, which provides a cushion effect for the horses. The track is made up of a profile that incorporates a base drainage layer of gravel perforated by sub-soil pipes with a lower layer of sand and an upper root zone layer. The lower layer helps in the fast drainage of water.
The sand, gravel layer and sub-soil pipes provide a quick and efficient draining of water even during the heavy rainfall. It is very rare to find the Main Racing Track condition going below yielding and even if it does drop to yielding zone, the track would recover to its good going in no time.
