Bangalore Turf Club

About

A day at the Bangalore Turf Club is always buzzing with energy and tradition. Since 1863, we've mixed horse racing with a vibe that's both old-school and totally Bengaluru. It's not just about who wins on the track - it's about soaking in that electric live race day atmosphere, catching up with friends, and being part of something this city has loved for generations.

What Happens on a Race Day

• The minute you walk in, you’ll hear the crowd, feel the ground shake as horses thunder past, and maybe spot folks cheering for their lucky favourites.
• Our calendar is packed, with the Bangalore Derby day events, Governor’s Trophy, and lots more. Top jockeys, famous horses, and a crowd that's here for the thrill.
• Some days are posh - we run ‘Best Dressed’ contests and, yeah, you’ll see a few lounge suits and fancy sarees. But there’s always a spot for everyone.

More Than Racing

• Placing a bet here is easy - either at the track or at Off-Course Betting Centers. It’s a different rush when your pick is leading.
• Families, first-timers, and racing pros all find their groove. Kids, foodies, and even those just here for the photos love it.
• Lucky draws happen daily. Like we say, Dainandina lucky draw spardheyalli bhagavahisi! (Join the daily lucky draw!) Sometimes, you might even take home a bike or a car.

Why People Keep Coming Back

• Historic Bangalore racing tradition is alive here - you’ll feel it in every cheer and every finish.
• Good views, great food, and always something happening. It’s not pretentious, just pure excitement, rain or shine.
