Dear S Kumar (SK) Ji,

I wish you many happy returns of the Day!!!!! Wishing you many many more !!!!

It has been a very long association with you and our Team and your contribution earlier along-with Late BKD , Late Raghavan Sir, SK Sagar Sir, Dr Nath Sir, Late DRS JI , Late Srikanth of Speedrating.com that Horse-talk exploded into a new era. The Team of coordination and management which was assembled by you included Dharmesh Ji, Rakesh Menon, Dr Ashok @The Doc, myself and Ramiyer and who can forget Golden Girl’s chipping in valuable suggestions for all the Contests. The Role of Admin @IR.com was sought time and again and IR.com coming into support all of us every time was an appreciable happening during the Golden Time and period of Racing Sport. The Contests which you coordinated were:

With late Srikanth : THE PTR Contests further saw 3 R’s which you had embedded into the Contest (Recognize-Respect-Reward) and the Merchandise you have developed alongwith Dustin Torry had a unique distinction achieved. TShirts-Caps-Winners Trophy was something the Hardwork of PTR Team could be seen by everyone then.

With Late BKD and late Raghavan Ji: MOM-DAD-BRO-POP contests, Tom and Jerry Contests: The Doc, RM myself and you being the centre pin of core coordination. The MOM contests saw 174 entries as highest. Mammoth coordination from you none can forget here in HT. The Golden period’s, the main brains all gone forever..sad

With Shri SK Sagar Ji : The 4 Winters Derbies PTR Special series Contests. The Most Respected Personality in HT Circuit ever i.e our own SK Sagar Ji and the coordination from you saw that this Special edition contest became one of the most sought after, attained Premium Contest Tag because of the Legacy of Shri S K Sagar Ji. Shri Maj Srinivas Nargolkar JI was invited by S K Sagar JI to be Chief Guest to the Winners Declarations and the appreciation received by Sagar Ji, The entire Team was the Precious Moments ever in Horsetalk.

Human Touch: Not even single HT’ians/IR’ians can forget the way coordination for 5-6 months each was done by you in seeking support from Ramiyer, myself, Tech Manju, Admin @ HT , Dr Nath , The Concerned offices at Bengaluru, Delhi & its Vijayawada Employees Association to Trace Raghavan Ji’s Whereabouts and further coming into touch with Family of Raghavan Sir only to communicate the tragic News otherwise nobody would have known the truth behind the tragedy. The same efforts you have put to Trace Late BKD and connected with family somehow with your efforts in South Africa and informing the Legend’s whereabouts and the tragedy which followed with the legend .

Birthday Threads: For Many years now you along-with Admin@HT in IR.com have been rendering and remembering HT’ians on their respective Birthday’s is one Feel-Good Factor you people have created to all of us. Keep it coming SK Ji. Hats-off to Admin Team @IR.Com through HT who is been supporting the old teams especially on these Vaue-Added Services and that’s the reason why IR.Com Stands-Out. I request all HT Members to give your details of your Birthdays to Admin and we will coordinate among ourselves in Opening the Thread accordingly. These Threads on such special days of the concerned HT’ians will induce ‘One Family Feeling” which will be a further catalyst for One’s Well being and Satisfaction. Non Monetary Though but will be of value addition. @Admin to do once again the needful.

Golden Period of Racing Gone, Racing Sport Dynamics changing regularly, Derby Get-togethers gone and losing its charm I can only request you and few Old-Timers remaining to unite even more strongly and bring the lost Glory back at-least Roll Out The THE PTR Contest and any contributions if required we will all at HT will come-in to support you all.

Major Thanks and Appreciations to IR.com at HT-The Horse Racing Sports Voice of the Punter Community for supporting us for the last decade and Half or say 2 decades and further On-Going as ever. A big thank you.

With warm Regards

Santhosh
