RCTC ALL SET FOR MONSOON MEET
By Epsom Ace | 28 Jun 2019 | KOLKATA
After a long break of about three months, the thunder of thoroughbreds returns to the Kolkata track at the Royal Calcutta Turf Club on Tuesday. The 18-day Calcutta Monsoon meeting has a total of 126 scheduled races, of which 24 are Cup events. The meeting is slated to conclude on October 15 with the running of the Monsoon Cup.
The advertised stake money for the meet including the value of cups and trophies, is about Rs 5.34 crore. As many as 433 thoroughbreds (which includes 103 two-year-olds) under the charge of 19 ‘A’ licensed trainers are stationed here. Of the seven apprentices, RS Bhati and P Vikram are the duo whose mounts spell danger. Regular showers over the past couple of weeks have left the monsoon track well watered and clerk-of-the-course Amit Chaturvedi is confident that it should run true to form from day one.
The handicapper has dropped the scale by 3kg (barring three-year-olds) and this should aid the winners of last winter to have a toe in it against upcoming youngsters in the early part of the rainy season. Other than champion trainer Vijay Singh, trainers James Mckeown, Akshay Doctor, Bharath Singh, Javed Khan, Bath, and Vikash Jaiswal may be the saddlers to follow this monsoon. The Monsoon Derby is scheduled to be run on September 29.
