The curtains will come down on another gripping Mumbai Racing Season with the last day just around the corner. There have been several high points during this current season and one that stands out is the increased number of sponsors and new entrants that have aligned with the RWITC. One such new entrant is the Swapnali Bhonsle Constructions, a Pune-based realty company. Their presence ensures that the last day of the season will be as exciting as the entire season has been, and signing off with a "Million" race is what any Race Club desires. The marketing team under Mr. Vivek Jain has really painted the entire meeting colourfully and every Sunday was enjoyable. The SBC Million, a race for three-year olds with a purse of over Rs 1.2 million will be the "grand finale" of the Mumbai Racing Season this Sunday. The first-time sponsos - Swapnali Bhosle Constructions, will bring in a new dimension to the concluding day. Vivek Jain, Chairman, Marketing, RWITC stated, "It is for the first time ever that a Mumbai Racing Season will have a sponsor on the last day, and that too, a million. This is one more record for the season." SBC will also give away prizes in the contest and host a grand tea for select invitees. In addition, the season championships for owners, trainers, jockeys, etc will be awarded in the paddock. To add to the festivity there will be a special kids’ area and a display of paintings by renowned equine artist Narayan.
