The Mahalaxmi Racecourse is a horse racing track in Mahalaxmi neighbourhood of Mumbai. The track is oval shaped with 2,400 metres (7,900 ft) straight chute, spread over approximately 225 acres (0.91 km2; 0.352 sq mi) of open land in the heart of Mumbai city. It was created out of a marshy land known as Mahalakshmi Flats. It was built in 1883 and the stands were modelled on the Randwick Racecourse in Sydney in 1922 by Sydney architect and racing administrator Theodore John Marks.[2] It is spread over land facing the sea.

The racecourse was originally donated by Sir Cusrow N Wadia and today it is on lease from the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) to Royal Western India Turf Club which runs the racecourse. The Grandstand, off the course, is a designated heritage structure.[3][4] The racecourse is the only helipad open for civilian use in South Mumbai.[5]
