Thank you Dr. Nath for your wonderful write up as CG. Earlier Tom Krish has done it three or four times and Major Srinivas Nargolkar has done it twice ( or maybe thrice) and each time they delighted the participants with excellent and informative write-ups. SKumar did it once and did a wonderful job too. So now, if the participants say that I am an expert in selecting and inviting great Chief Guests, I`ll agree with them.
Incidentally Tom Krish wrote excellent previews in his `Tom Krish Column` in `Madrasraceclub.com` on Invitation cup day. After elaborating on the chances of the various contenders, he usually ends up in giving his own selection for the winner. He picked `Whomakestherules` in the Super Mile which won, and Temerity for the invitation who came a close second. He picked Corfe Castle for the Poonawalla Multimillion as far back as November.
Heartiest Congratulations to Ramiyer for winning the 2018 Invitation Weekend PTR contest, to Rakesh Menon for finishing 1ST runner up and SKumar for finishing 3rd. All three are real experts and have finished in the big three quite a few times before. SKumar is doing very well in the ongoing Mumbai season PTR. Last Sunday he played 50k on Star Comrade shp that paid 127.
If I remember correctly, Ramiyer and Rakesh Menon already have either `Intelligent Field` or `Six Words` based on their earlier performances. Please let me know which of these they do not have, and I`ll send the same during next week on reaching Bangalore.
Currently I am in Pune in connection with a ``Talk` on `Intelligent Field` I am planning to deliver on 16th March at 6.45 PM at `THE LOFT` Pune. If any of my friends on HT who are in Pune and would like to attend the presentation, kindly let me know your email Ids so that I can send a proper invite.
Many thanks to Libero, I fully agree with SKumar regarding the role played by him in keeping the spirit and unity in the contests with his committment and devotion.
Many thanks to Admn. Indiarace for their unstinted support.
Thanks a million to all the participants.
Good luck to all who are still in the running in the ongoing Mumbai and Bangalore season PTRs.
Regards and best wishes
S.K.SAGAR

Dear Kumar,
I am also indisposed and didn't read your report fully first time.
Sorry to note that you had many bereavements and was hardpressd to meet your goals.
While the GT s which we had had so far have no doubt brought together some outstanding personalities,and has also helped foster long lasting friendships amongst at least a few ,I am afraid that the future for such Get Togethers do not look bright.
While I will not take initiatives in future ,I will certainly be around,health and circumstances ,permitting.
What I forgot to mention in my Invitation Weekend Report was that a gentleman by name Rajesh who is a member of HRC happened to see my name in the Hotel Register in Calcutta and after getting assurance from me that Dr.K.Ravindranath mentioned in the Register is the same Dr.K.R.Nath who appears in HT from time to time,visited. My room on tha Sunday and we got acquainted!
Very nice of him.
K.R.Nath

@ Esteemed Sagar Ji,

Three Cheers !!!!!! and Many Congratulations for completing ONE MORE YEAR of "FWD" and "Invitation" Special PTR's. I can very confidentally say that Contestants take it as Pride in Participation than winning or losing which doesnt matter to them at all. Such has been the impact of the special PTR's designed by you.

Owing to multiple set-backs in multiple Deaths of my family members in short span/s which actually drained me psychologically and also owing to hectic travel between different places Pan India to complete Professional duties badly hampered my involvement yet whenever time permitted me or i could squeeze some time , I have tried my best to part of it. This may be kindly be excused by you.

"THE PTR" Series , formulated to be as one of the Finest Contest ever in the racing history will be more focussed from now on to be more "CREATIVE", a promise, Iam personally committing and assuring you sir.

We are infact highly indebted to Libero for keeping the spirit and unity in the contests with his committment and devotion that the entire burden is shouldered by him on behalf of the PTR Team and its constituent Managements and committees. This is infact keeping the Momentum going.

For the first time in these contests and in Association with our Principal Partners, The India Race .com we have delivered the Merchandise and the Coveted Prizes to the winning and Runners and the satisfaction of these Respected Contestants and its relative feedback is received by us. we have not compromised on the Quality of these materials and being sourced from different Vendors Pan India.

Dharmesh, Alby, @ The Doc, Rakesh Menon, Libero, Dustin Torry , Mr Kishan Raj (Owner of Horses) and the Contribution from You have immensely contributed to the Success and ensured satisfaction to the utmost of one and all. Passion drives us and committment ensures that we stay responsible to the execution of these contests.

A Million Million Thanks to you and for your support , Sir !!!!!!!!!!!!!


Special Thanks to :- Dr Nath , Ramiyer, @ The Doc, Rakesh Menon , Kumar_Blore, Vampsy, Oddsy, Sanjiv Shinde, Kimodo and the Evergreen Kolkata "Boy" BKD who is growing younger and younger , year after year (Source of Inspiration to one and all at HT) :- Thanks a Ton for your greetings and Congratulatory Messages. Please treat this as my individual and personal reply to you all.


@ DR Nath ,

Always your presentation are well defined as Per the "KISS" Rule...(Keep it Simple and Short)(I know that you will start laughing by the Word "KISS").

GG...... Where R U ....???????

Infact during the first GT at Bangalore which I attended, I had a good chance of Interacting with you and you took so much of pain in explaining the Various Nuances of Bad communication and how effective it should be and the responsibility ("Review of GT"- A Exclusive) was given by you to me which i did particularly keeping in mind the Conveyancing thumb rule that you had explained to me. The rest is history and most contestants and HT'ians...have expressed and showered their Love and affection to us particularly on the Outcome of such GT's.

We will Look forward to many more in the days to come and let us all together take it forward as "ONE"....

Indiarace has been a Source of Strength and without which all these would not have been possible at all .... A million Thanks to you and " EK Salaam AAP Logon Key naam" ....


Regards

SK

Dear Savio,
You have always been over kind to me in choosing such adjectives .
As I said to Golden Girl several years back,English is a poor language in respect of Reciprocating such Greetings which are delivered with so much Affection.
It has been a decade since we have been in HT and have not been able to meet at any Centre.
I had just returned from Singapore to attend our District Rotary Conference and was not seriously planning to go to Calcutta but for Albert Khare.
It was truly hectic and tiresome and I even picked up an injury which I a man grappling with.
Never mind that:Sagar Saabs mail asking me to be the chief guest gave me an opportunity to write something which some of you have liked.
Unfortunately,I don't find many occasions to write here as we had earlier with the lik s of Mrs.Lagad,SIA,Sad Sack,Cruise Bangalore,Glasgow prince Chanakya and a few others contributing in the same vein.
Anyway,my Racing Days will not be too many and I most certainly would like to shake hands with you much sooner than later!
May God give you good health and whatever other things you ask HIM for.
K.R.Nath
