As Shattrath is a city of refugees, it is not home to any one single race. It was originally a Draenei city - but the Aldor, to whom it used to belong, opened their doors to others when the war on the Burning Legion began. The Aldor (comprised mainly of Draenei) and the Scryers (comprised mainly of Blood Elves) are mutually exclusive factions. Draenei start off hostile to the Scryers and Blood Elves start off hostile to the Aldor.
