The Race Course ground lies on the western side of the Victoria Memorial. It is regarded as one of the best race courses in India. It started off in 1819 organised by the Royal Turf Club. Apart from horse-races, this ground was also used for playing polo.

The horse-race starts in the month of July and continues till September. It starts again in November and concludes in March. The race is generally held on Saturdays. However, it is also held on important holidays and some special occasions.
