BANGALORE TURF CLUB FACES A NIGHTMARE !!!

 

BANGALORE TURF CLUB AWAKENING: IS IT TOO LATE?

Despite persistent discrepancies, irregularities, and missteps, the authorities at the Bangalore Turf Club (BTC) are entangled in their own web of deficiencies. The eagerly anticipated start of the Bangalore Summer 2024 racing season, scheduled for May 18, 2024, could not commence. Representatives from the horse racing community, excluding the Chairman and the managing committee, recently met with the Chief Minister. However, the government's response was unfavorable, reflecting a lackluster approach from the authorities.

 

Now, in a seemingly last-ditch effort, the leaders of the Turf Club have decided to approach the High Court. This move raises a crucial question: is it too late? Why did they not seek judicial intervention at the beginning of May 2024 when the situation was already at a standstill?

 

The future of the summer season hangs in the balance, heavily dependent on the Chief Minister's response this week. The Bangalore Turf Club provides livelihoods for approximately 5,000 individuals. If the club fails in its endeavors, the consequences could be dire. As a responsible public representative, the Chief Minister must recognize the significant impact on these lives and act swiftly to resolve the issue.

 

The Turf Club's late decision to approach the High Court might prove futile if immediate action is not taken. The impending dark future of the Bangalore Summer 2024 racing season necessitates urgent and decisive measures. It is imperative that both the Turf Club and the government collaborate effectively to ensure the continuity of this vital sporting and economic activity.

  ADAMANT CHIEF MINISTER BRINGS HORSE RACING TO THE BRINK OF DISASTER The future of 20,000 individuals tied to the Bangalore Turf Club hangs in the balance as the government of Karnataka considers withholding the club's licence to conduct horse racing at the iconic Bangalore Race Course.

These people, whose lives and futures are entwined with the tradition of horse racing, face an uncertain and dire situation. For generations, they have depended on this industry, and the abrupt halt of activities would leave them scrambling for alternative means of survival.   The Chief Minister of Karnataka must recognize the profound impact of this decision.

OOTY RACES 2024 - FORM GOES AWRY – UNCHECKED INCONSISTENCIES

  FORM GOES AWRY – UNCHECKED INCONSISTENCIES IN OOTY RACES 2024   It's deeply frustrating when horses seem to defy all logic, leaving followers of form and patrons—the lifeblood of horse racing—confounded.   At the races held in Ooty on Sunday, 5th May 2024, several inexplicable performances left spectators bewildered.   In the first race, 'WILBUR', who finished a distant 13 1/4 lengths behind the winner barely a week ago, suddenly surged to victory at lucrative odds, despite lacking any recent form to justify such a dramatic improvement. The question remains: how can a horse exhibit such a remarkable transformation within a mere week?   Moving on to the second race, THE STORM CAT HANDICAP (20-45) over 1400 meters, a bay mare named WONDERFUL ERA, hailing from the stables of N. Rupa, finished second by a mere half-length behind the winner. This same mare had finished a staggering 22 3/4 lengths behind the leader just a week prior on 27th April 2024, and a cou

BANGALORE TURF CLUB: STRUGGLING FOR SURVIVAL IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY

  BANGALORE TURF CLUB: STRUGGLING FOR SURVIVAL IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY The Bangalore Turf Club (BTC) is grappling with a dire struggle for survival under the current administration led by the Chief Minister of Karnataka. The club faces a bleak future, largely due to what many see as an illogical and obstructive government stance.   The denial of a racing licence by the state government has cast a shadow over BTC's future, leaving the club in a state of uncertainty. The present managing committee and chairman appear unable to steer the club out of these turbulent times.   In court, BTC's legal team, arguing their writ petition, failed to present strong, valid points, leading to little progress toward reinstating the licence. This legal setback further exacerbates the club's already precarious situation.   The ramifications extend beyond administrative hurdles. Over 600 thoroughbred horses at BTC face an uncertain future. The cost of maintaining each horse is
