Established in 1842, Singapore Turf Club has, for nearly two centuries, been the standard-bearer for professional horse-racing in Singapore. While its early years during colonial times at its first home Farrer Park Racecourse were humble, the Club quickly gained a reputation that was cemented in the heydays of Bukit Timah Racecourse during the ‘90s.
