India is a great country with knowledge and warrior's. Humans taken two animals from wild for their betterment of life. One is dog which behaved like a slave, and the second one is horse, who fought with his master to create history.
Riding a horse is not like riding a bike, as bike runs with engine and can accelerate as per the governing system attached with it. But horse is a difficult to handle thing as hevalso having a character which rider needs to tackle with. More over it is live thing and have all feelings animal's/ human's possessed with.
I remember apprentice jockey Ruzzans ride on colorific( a got abroad by UB colours) at Bangalore St Leger 2800 m.She taken a good jump and lead the field and stopped running after passing winning post for the first time.Ruzzan tried his best to bring back into contention.but horse eventhough in good condition refused to gallop.Father and son byramjeess laughed at him at track. I fancied colourific for upset and worried by the result. Continues to observe that fillys track work and followed her to Calcutta , Darius changed her running style totally and won in long distance race ,. A lot of owners and trainers given standing ovation for the winner ...really it is for the same rider and trainer .
In India horse racing is considered just as a gambling game but really not.
Jump riders in UK and France like Mcnamerra and Walsh are considered national hero's. Nick Kinane given the highest civilian award in Germany are the difference of approach by both govts in India and abroad.
Indian's are still living with utopian socialism and un practical Gandhian lifestyle.( Some bearing ganghi tagsvate the richest political leaders in world), because Gandhi himself failed to create one more Gandhi( keep away allegations).
The concepts and desighns to be changed, race courses to be changed as social gathering and entertainment centres. It is better if a no of shops for various activities opened up in race course building.
The KL race course is the best example.It comprises eateries of 300 stalls, curio shops, beer shops, three banks, ATMs, massage parlours, hair cutting saloons, tattoo shops , foriegn currency exchange points etc.Booking of taxi and flight tickets arevalso possible.
Think positive about the challenges and demand. Racing in India generates revenue and jobs other than betting.
