The group gathers first-hand information on horse racing and functioning of the club with specific reference to totalizator operations

The Turf Authorities of India (TAI) thanked the Group of Ministers (GoM) on casinos, racecourses, and online gaming viz. Conrad K. Sangma, Suresh Kumar Khanna, and Mauvin Godinho, and other officials for visiting the Bangalore Turf Club Ltd. on Saturday to get first-hand information on horse racing and the functioning of the club with specific reference to totalizator operations.

“The meeting was fruitful involving a meaningful discussion on all aspects of racing with particular reference to functioning of the totalizator. This we hope will lead to a positive representation by the Members of the GoM to the Hon’ble Members of the GST Council regarding the impact of GST on horse racing. Further, a positive impact will in turn help the livelihood of over 3.50 lakh families across the country, agricultural and other related sectors,” said K. Uday Eswaran, chairman, TAI.

Nelson Reuben sadly passed away earlier today in Calcutta. He was undoubtedly one of the greatest jockeys to have graced the Calcutta turf in the seventies and eighties. His unique style of horsemanship fetched him classics galore. Perhaps the one most recalled by oldtimers was his victory atop Topmost in the Indian Derby of 1974. Nelson lived up to his name and enjoyed a huge fan following all over the country during an era  when  Calcutta jockeys ruled the roost- his contemporaries Robin Corner and Richard Alford to name a couple of others. Nelson will always be remembered fondly by local railbirds.
