It was advertised that several trainers from Mumbai, Bangalore are coming with good Horses to participate Ooty Season. But if we see the acceptances for the prestigious Nilgiris Derby no big horse from outside participating except Shroff which is no chance at all. So it is decided to give to give this Derby to late Dr.MAM. That is the reason others are not entered. This is what happening in all centers that some big races are fixed for a particular owners to satisfy or glorify him. When stake money is high all top classics horses were eager to participate those days. Tulipa came down from Mumbai to stride with Own Opinion.
Even in top classic races there is no fight then it seems interest in Racing Sport is dwindling.
