With this issue of Racing World we complete our 7th 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 seven 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 8th year of publication we look forward to your continued support.

PREVIEW : AUGUST - SEPTEMBER 2010
The Pune Racing Season 2010
Real Action Still To Come
The Pune racing season started on schedule and the inaugural weekend had seventeen races with big fields. We hope that this trend will prevail throughout the Pune racing season. It was heartening to see that the top trainers were off to a flying
start with Pesi Shroff, Cooji Katrak, Imtiaz Sait, Dallas Todywalla, and Shiraz Sunderji starting their campaigns, with Hormuz Antia galloping away to a good start, and the man-of-the-weekend, Narendra Lagad booting home four winners.
The big guns for the classics are all getting their preparatory workouts and are likely to be seen vying for honours in the F D Wadia (Gr2). In all probability the Bangalore Derby
winner, Moonlight Romance (China Visit-Wandering Star) will be rested for the major part of the Pune campaign and if we anticipate rightly, she will be brought...

HYDERABAD MONSOON MEET
Promises much for local horses
The monsoon racing season commenced on 21st July and has 28 race days concluding on the 25th October 2010. A total stakes of Rs 7,64,20,000 inclusive of trophy value will be disbursed over 178 races indicating an increase of 39% in stakes money. Contributions by way of entry fees and forfeits will also be available for distribution in the races. There are no races framed for horses rated 0 to 25. The Deccan Bookmakers-sponsored Fillies’ and Colts’ Trial Stakes have been allotted Grade 3 status. The highlights of the season are the President of India Gold Cup (Gr1), the Golconda Textiles Deccan Derby (Gr1), the Nizams Gold Cup (Gr3) and the Golconda St Leger (Gr2). The track looks good and green thanks to intermittent showers and 543 horses will blaze the track in their quest for victory. Trainers who have summered their wards in Bangalore are bound to be in forward condition so watch out for them. Here are some of the horses to follow.
The rains have been good and the hard work put in by Hyderabad Race Club during the summer has paid off as the racetrack is in great shape. This has drawn all round appreciation from the trainers and they have been unstinting in their praise for the management in this regard.
The focus is now well and truly on the equine stars and with a number of well bred
and well performed horses based in Hyderabad this promises to be a stellar season for local runners as far as the terms races and classics are concerned.
A number of Hyderabad based three-year-olds went south to Bangalore this summer and though they did not perform to their expected levels, there were a lot of ...
