Hyderabad Race Club - Some Observations

By Vroom Vroom | 31-Oct-2018

The Hyderabad Race Club is the only club in India which owns the land its standing on. However, when it comes to management etc, there is a lot left to be desired.

1. The Dodla Pratap memorial million - terms for 2 yr olds. Weights- colts 56 kgs, fillies 54.5 kgs.. However, in the winter, maden 2 yr olds are set to carry 55 kgs & 53.5 kgs! Why the difference? Madras Race Club, winter weights are colts 56 kgs, fillies 54.5 kgs.. Cant weights for term races be uniform all over the country? Why cant the Turf Authorities wake up? Weights on an international scale have gone up all over the world.. India and HRC are in the dark ages.

2.Trophies in Hyderabad compared to other centres- HRC trophies are the same for almost every race. Dull, boring and no creativity! See RWITC and also a small centre like Mysore- much better than HRC. Its like all trophies made from one single mould! Pathetic..

3. Public Address system - one of the worst and outdated systems in the world. You have to struggle to hear commentary and announcements. Cant you afford to upgrade it?

4. Quality of Trainers- Some of the trainers in HRC are not even worth being stable assistants! Lack of knowledge, basic English communication etc.

5. HRC website and LIVE streaming - The HRC website is outdated and there are no proper updates. Even the forms available for outstation professionals is outdated.

LIVE Streaming video - why cannot you update your website and  mobile app so that people can watch live races on a smart phone? MADRAS Race Club has that facility.. Why not you??? Please wake up and come into the 21st century!

6. Attitude of officials - The high ended attitude of the officials, stipes etc must end. Arrogance, un approachability etc. The senior stypes dont even have the courtesy of replying to e mails!

I hope some people from HRC also read this post.. Your views please!

All this is nothing when compared to the bookies ring, with huge crowds.

It is very difficult to play at the ring.The authorities never even come for a visit to see the very large problem at the ring.

The bookies ring needs to be expanded. Alternatively, it could be shifted to another area where the area could be bigger than the present one.

But alas, there is nobody to listen to all these views.

 

In-sufficient chairs, very old and very bad speakers.

Past assurances are mostly un-fulfilled.

Pl. get up from your a c rooms and do something to ease the ring situation.

@sujay s

whatever you said is absolutely true.administration has been very pathetic this year as it is with the rwitc.

@heera

dont say that it is the gratitude of nizam,how can nizam donate the land to the club when nizam himself is the phakir whose ancestors came from some other country

Coming to Racing I feel the Handicapping is quiet different from other centres.Here Winner penalties are on Lower Side giving scope for a Winning horse to repeat.

I think last Winter season started with revision of Ratings by whopping 20 points then corrected by 10 RPs during the season Lots of confusion for Punters following Ratings.

With so many horses we have seen Races cancelled due to paucity of Acceptors which only shows that Owners are not keen in running their wards because Winners are penalised lightly ofcourse this is my reading of the situations.

Same horse winning raises it Ratings resulting in this centre horses not able to impress outside HRC.

It is high time they have a re-look at their Handicapping System.

Very Low Standard Administration ,, Imagaine 5 race days Getting cancelled this season due to Paucity of Runners in which way HRC is moving towards..? Much advertised Melbourne racing  cup being cancelled due to the same reason.

Fillies , Colts & Derby  Won by the same Owners  and same Jockey is  really a eye raising concern , no worthwile competation   Every classic races the field is too small, (Mostly 4 to 5 Horses Running ) Outstation  trainers are least intrensted in getting there horses to run at HRC

Offlate Races are not being  held on Sudays due to Unkown reasons,..!! instead held on mondays &  weekdays, Officegoers following Hyderabad races are finding difficult to attend race days

Inform horse mounts are being given to same particular jockeys ,the gap beetween top jockeys and decent performing jockeys  has widened  

HRC Chariman & Stewards are unanimously being elected for the same posts year after year, hence high handedness is prevaling in HRC, Need to induce fresh blood in the managment comittte ,things shall deifinately change henceforth..

Views Please

All Your Objections Are Debatable. 

Heard The Chairman Of HRC Iz A Real Gentleman. 

Approach To Him Directly, Instead Of Going Through Websites. 

If He Did Not Respond, Then Can Go Through Websites. 

This Iz Just My Personal Opinion. 

All The Best.

My observations about HRC

1. The counter clerks are closing the counters immediately after the betting for the race is over and chit chatting without attending to the customers. This was brought to the notice of Chairman by MR. Veda.This needs to be checked.

2. The carried over JP amounts of other centers are added only to the Hyderabad races. In stead they can add the same  to IVB jockpot on classic days.

3. The mobile charges at headquarters needs a look. While it it is free at off course centers a mobile change of 150 is charged at Malakpet. I request HRC to make it free at Malkap also by suitably revising the entrance ticket.

You forgot the goondas roaming the race course, the illegal bookies openly operating, the race-fixing and poor condition of wash-rooms..
