Horse racing began in Thailand 100 years ago when King Rama the Fifth bestowed land for the first racecourse, which was the birth of the Royal Bangkok Sports Club. The objective of His Majesty and the Club was to introduce and promote the quality of horse racing and breeding in Thailand while providing sporting facilities of international standards for Thais and expatriates.
