Overview

At the time of His Majesty King Abdul Aziz in Abdul Rahman Al Saud, horse races were conducted in the north east area of Riyadh city. Horses used to start racing from the place now located at the end of Salah Alden Al Ayoubi Road with a finish line in front of a high hill where his late Majesty used to sit and watch the races.

It is the place where the Sports Club is presently located in Malaz quarter attached to the Jocky Club of Saudi Arabia. Competition in these races was made between His Majesty's sons by pure Arab horses owned by His Majesty and some of his sons who had become interested in acquiring their own horses and they participated in the races.
