In 1992, the Selangor Turf Club relocated from Jalan Ampang (now the famous KLCC Twin Towers) to a brand new state-of art race course in Sungei Besi.

The grandstand was designed as two parallel buildings with a light and air well between them to provide interconnection between the indoor areas and the natural environment. The roof is shaped as a collection of wings that hover the building, overlapping each other like feathers on a bird. On the west side, the roof cascades down to form a giant louver to keep the sun out while catching the breeze and can accommodate up to 25,000 racing fans.

The racetrack is 2,000-metre long and 30-metre wide. Left-handed and is turfed with patented grass-El-Toro Zoysia. The double home bends cambered at gradients of 1 to 11 remain the greatest asset of the whole development. Although it reduces the tension of the horses foot, every race comes alive when the horses come through from the home bend till the finishing line.

A racing season begins from January till December with 30 on-course race days scheduled every year. An average of 9 to 10 races are conducted on each race day and races are broadcast live to other racing centres in Malaysia and Singapore. The Selangor Turf Club also operates off-course betting on races from other racing centres in Penang, Perak, Singapore and the Hong Kong Jockey Club and Macau Jockey Club.
