5 Nelson Reuben sadly passed away earlier today in Calcutta. He was undoubtedly one of the greatest jockeys to have graced the Calcutta turf in the seventies and eighties. His unique style of horsemanship fetched him classics galore. Perhaps the one most recalled by oldtimers was his victory atop Topmost in the Indian Derby of 1974. Nelson lived up to his name and enjoyed a huge fan following all over the country during an era when Calcutta jockeys ruled the roost- his contemporaries Robin Corner and Richard Alford to name a couple of others. Nelson will always be remembered fondly by local railbirds.

It will be renewed once the club agrees to the conditions of the government regarding the shifting and the compromise petition before the supreme court in its egm on Sept 16. It's a big relief from btc's point of view and hopefully all goes well and racing continues after Sept 16 too.
