His mud splattered smile is a tribute not only to to his riding skills but also the Pune track which has borne the fury of a rampant monsoon.
A big thumbs up for

Bangalore Derby Day 2022; a sound Once You Go Black is withdrawn erroneously by the BTC vet (the committee apologised and has since rectified their SOP). Fast forward to Bangalore Derby Day 2024, coming off a setback in the winter Once You Go Black smashes the 1400 Metre track
A thank you to all the members

Here’s looking forward to a historic year.

Keep an eye on those of our friends who beat their chests & forward negative news on racing by the millisecond.
And how they are as silent as mice when there is a positive development today.
These friends of ours are the real losers in racing.
Good to see Indian jockeys riding & winning across the globe: C. Umesh shoots out of the bunch to ride a winner in Mauritius .

Great news for
@RaceMadras
with regards to its lease.
But,once again,shame on all those losers,who prefer not to share such positive news but spread negative news with great alacrity.
Details emerge:
Key players in BTC winning its court battle are KROA & KTA,headed by S.Padmanabhan & Loknath Gowda,receptively.
Committee’s of all clubs should appreciate the importance of strong heads of racing bodies & strengthen them rather than be at loggerheads.
All credit to the BTC committee & in particular the chairman. Had the judgement gone the other way the entire racing community would have attacked him for taking the Govt. on.
While the fight is not yet over this is a landmark judgement which will help all race clubs in future.

Uday Eshwaran has just chaired chaired a

meeting on Zoom from London.
No better man to lead BTC through this crisis.

Got a nuanced view on the matter:
•The committee of a club, cannot resign without notice at the suggestion of the Govt. An EGM has been called with a mandatory 21 day notice to map the way forward
•Talks are currently on with the Govt & a breakthrough is not ruled out.
Completely against such clarifications by our clubs.
It can only encourage mischief mongers in the future not deter them.
Racing aficionado’s are smart enough to check the clubs website and not believe drivel.
