Back to listsHyderabad Race Club - Some Observations
By Vroom Vroom | 31-Oct-2018The 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 Public Address system - one of the worst and outdated systems in the world.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 HRC website and LIVE streaming - The HRC website is outdated and there are no proper updates. Even the forms available for outstation professionals is outdated.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!
