The Singapore Turf Club was founded in 1842 as the Singapore Sporting Club to operate the Serangoon Road Race Course at Farrer Park Field. It was the only horse-racing club in Singapore and is part of the Malayan Racing Association. The first race was held on 23 February 1843 with a prize of $150. The club closed in 1988 after the Singapore Totaliser Board (Tote Board) formed the Bukit Turf Club (BTC) to take over all racing activities.
