Clear warning was there even before when breeders started racing their stud horses in their own colours and some partly owned like Rochester and Mauritania. After the demise of Deepak Khaitan , MAM and the King Of Good Times leaving the country the breeding industry lost its big players. Now we have only players interested in winning on give & take policy and breeding has no meaning.

I remember decade back there used to be an average of 9 races with an approx average of 9 runners every race in banglore/mumbai - last 5/6 yrs number of horses/races have come down - Another angle is even with a huge population increase people going for races have gone down - new generation are not stepping in its only the oldtimers who are addicted want to kill time are still around .

indians living in UAE/UK and other countries gamble in horse racing but avoid 'Indian horse racing' because of trust factor, they dont trust racing in India ....This I know from a few friends of mine ......

It is time some more race courses are added in the country.

Potential new racing centers. Punjab, Lucknow, Amravathi.

"What they will do to unsold horses"? Simple. The prices will be reduced. They may be expecting a horse to fetch 2 lakhs. If it does not go for 2 lakhs, they have to reduce the price to 1.5 lakhs. If still no takers, then 1 lakh, 5Ok, 25k etc. If 1 or 2 horses remain unsold, those can be gifted to Police force. Here there is a big bulk that has remained unsold.

So, cut the losses!

@ stop fooling punter

Your are right. Only 31 horses were sold in the ring. Others were bought-in and sold privately. There are buyers who don't want to buy in ring because they want to pay in cash and not by cheque. As per my information there are very few horses that didn't find buyers.
