Jockey Mukesh Kumar has been suspended by the Madras Race Club stewards from 23rd April 2023 to 22nd May 2026 for his ride on FERNET BRANCA in Race no.59 run on 30th April 2023. The Jockey was informed of his right to appeal to The Board of Appeal of MRC. Apropos the suspension of jockey K Mukesh Kumar by Madras Race Club stewards, there are 2 jockeys with identical names and one is licensed by Mysore Race Club & one by Hyderabad Race Club. Since it has created a confusion, Indiarace.com after verifying the details would like to clarify that jockey K Mukesh Kumar who has been suspended for 3 years by MRC is the one licensed by Mysore Race Club.

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.

It will be renewed once the club agrees to the conditions of the government regarding the shifting and the compromise petition before the supreme court in its egm on Sept 16. It's a big relief from btc's point of view and hopefully all goes well and racing continues after Sept 16 too.
