Trainer S Padmanabhan suspended- After the Stewards of the Bangalore Turf Club suspended trainer S Padmanabhan from May 15 to Aug 14, 2023 for violating medication rules of BTC, the trainer approached the Board of Appeal (BOA) and the BOA after hearing the trainer Padmanabhan was of the unanimous view that the breach of medication rules committed by trainer Padmanabhan was a serious offence and the punishment of three months and a fine of Rs, 50,000 awarded by the Stewards was inadequate considering the gravity of the offence. The BOA enhanced the punishment to six months, from May 26 to November 23.

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.
