For some reason best known to rwitc,they closed all off course betting centers in Mumbai since almost a year. In today's time of online and advanced technology instead they should have Increased the centers. By closure they have definitely lost a sizable amount of betting and footfalls as not everyone goes to the course even if interested.

A true alarming situation is increaseing by each passing day.Mr.Vivek Jain always came up for the resque of RWITC,whenever something negative surrounded the club.We are witnessing his role from the last about several years.This time the problem can only be solved, if the racing authorities at RWITC include the contribution of common punters,small owners etc.The off course betting centers,like in Lucknow can pull huge numbers on race days the operating head of this center works as a govt.employee,always treats punters in a manner that one decides not to visit this center,reason there is no supply of declaration to the punters,the race card costs twenty five rupees,no problem,but only few lucky punters get the race card,because they  are only five to ten in numbers,thereafter the same are not available for punters coming late.This is a very small piece of mismanagement at  a center overlooked by the tote officer at RWITC.

I have been writing in this forum on improving race clubs here since long back. In India many citizens attracted to Lottery,Chit scheme,Share markets,IPL and money is poured in.but only in race courses it's declining.Why? It's becoz of poor administration and reluctant to hear suggestions,advices from experts. I even suggested to work out IPL former in racing to attract more youngsters to race course.i also in place such plan.but no one cares.its time to race clubs to wake up for very survival of clubs also increase revenue,and keep Breed industryire viable for future.i request all race clubs under one umbrella constitute an expert committee to work out strategies for future.Time is  running out.better now or never.

Very true sir a very good insight to what is happening and what is to come we have enough young enthusiastic who would most definitely love the sport if portrayed in the right manner why do we get so much crowds at derbies it’s because Its published in papers banners sports channels so we have to keep doing that and also make the sport of horse racing clean 

First stewards need to be more straight and look into racing in a fair view,not penalising apprentice jockeys and letting go of bigger ones
