==History==<br />
Horse racing in Hyderabad was started by the [[Mahbub Ali Khan, Asaf Jah VI|Nizam Asaf Jah VI]] in 1868 at [[Moula-Ali]]. In those days the races were called Deccan races and later the Hyderabad races. In 1886 the 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. Hyderabad Race Club started its operations in 1961<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/sport/races/article2450352.ece|title=HRC to celebrate golden jubilee|newspaper=The Hindu|date=13 September 2011}}</ref> in Secunderabad and shifted to Malakpet in 1968 when the racing was revived under Hyderabad Race Club.<br />
