Selangor Turf Club
Selangor Turf Club is a horse racing track located in Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia. It is one of three horse racing courses in the country; the other two are in Ipoh, Perak and Penang. History
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. 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. Triple Crown Series 
The Selangor Turf Club Triple Crown race series comprises the three Malaysian Group 1 races run at Selangor throughout the year. Tunku Gold Cup (G1) 1200m RM 200,000 (Appox US$51,000)
 Selangor Gold Cup (G1) 1600m  RM 200,000 (Appox US$ 51,000)
 Piala Emas Sultan Selangor (G1) 2000m RM 400,000 (Appox US$96,000)

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. Race tracks 
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. The unique feature of this track is the two elevated bends cambered at an angle of 1 in 11, which enables horses to gallop at full speed into the bend thus gaining momentum before heading for the home straight. This ideal camber has been known to enhance the competitiveness while giving fair opportunity to all the runners regardless of the drawn barrier of the horse. Admission
