[2] Some veterans claim that it dates from 1874, and although horse races were organized in Lahore during that period, but the formal record of the present club does not go back so far.
[2] The club's racecourse was initially at Jail Road, Lahore, the current site of Jilani Park.
In 1976, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's government asked the club to move its races away from the Jail Road course, but it remained there until 1980, when it was compelled to leave.
[3] In June 2005, the club hosted Pakistan's first evening horse race under floodlights.
The opening ceremony was attended by Pervez Musharraf, President of Pakistan, and Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, crown prince of Dubai, who had financed the night-racing project, the cost of which was some Rs 30 million.
