With this issue of Racing World we complete our 6th year of publication, covering the exciting world of Equine sport – horse racing, polo and other equestrian events. Having moved into unchartered territory in August 2003, we are happy to have established ourselves in this niche market providing enthusiasts of the sport with comprehensive information, detailed reviews, timely previews, profile interviews, news and views, breeding and pedigree updates, racing statistics and lots of interesting racing information. Polo has been an intrinsic part of Racing World and we have tried to cover as many events as possible during the polo season. Over the past six years we have had writers from around the globe show interest in writing for Racing World and this has added a new dimension with an international perspective. Promoting all aspects of equine sport is our objective and we hope that those connected with the sport will contribute with ideas that will invoke more interest to those already involved with the sport as well as to attract new entrants to the game. We take this opportunity to thank all our supporters, advertisers, subscribers, contributors and the racing fan in general who have supported us this far. As we commence our 7th year of publication we look forward to your continued support.

FIN POWRIE
It was back in December of 2007 that the Bangalore Truf Club took the decision to hire Fin Powrie as Racing Advisor. However it was not until April that the internationally renowned Australian actually received his appointment order as certain factions within the managing committee of BTC, who owed their allegiance to powers inimical to the fair conduct of racing, tried their best to stall his selection.
Fin Powrie has vast experience as a racing administrator and has served with distinction in Australia, Dubai and New Zealand. He not only served as the Chief Stipendiary Steward of the Dubai Race Club but also ensured that the International Racing Carnival became a truly global event with participation of horses from over 50 countries. In his previous job before accepting BTC’s offer Fin Powrie headed the Integrity Commission of New Zealand racing.
With his abundant knowledge and expertise Fin Powrie will be a huge asset in helping improve the manner in which racing is conducted in Bangalore and Mysore. Part of his portfolio is to identify and train young racing officials from around the country and those who get a chance to work with him are sure to benefit immensely.
Racing World caught up with this straight talking Aussie to find out how his first few months of working in India have been.
