It's been believed that Jockeys are not able to move freely from Mumbai to kolkatta to ride.With only two centres operating races successfully, it's the need of the hour that both the management should come together and resolve the issue.
A jockey moving from Mumbai to kolkatta to ride ,he needs to quarantine himself for 3 days before he accepts to ride, due to this top jockeys are not riding in kolkatta.,but this doesn't work the same with RWITC . January 1st and the Derby are considered to be the big days in Kolkata racing calender. They should act quickly and resolve the same. By doing so we can see top jockeys riding during DERBY or else the charm is lost.

Hyderabad can ride anywhere in India now becoz their quarantine period ends
Its not glanders that effected racing in India but a drama created in front of GST

If the horse has the ability then even a jockey claiming 5 kg allowance can pull it off, so don't worry unless you feel you want to hire someone to ride your choice of horse. Owners are not in a mood to spend on jockeys of your choice these days.
