The prestigious Indian Turf Invitation Cup weekend, initially slated to be held at Mysore in the first week of March next year, is likely to gallop over to Chennai. This follows a request by the Madras Race Club (MRC), reportedly facing imminent relocation and a potential halt in racing for a couple of years as plans to build a new racecourse take shape. Mysore was originally tasked with hosting the marquee event. For Mysore, originally tasked with hosting this marquee event, this turn of events could be a disappointment. Yet, for Chennai, it may be a bittersweet swansong—a final hurrah at the historic Guindy Racecourse before the curtain temporarily falls on its storied legacy. The Invitation Cup weekend, a glittering jewel in the Indian racing crown, carries an air of grandeur and prestige. A relocation of this magnitude underscores the upheaval facing the MRC. If this plan materializes, the 2025 racing calendar could look significantly different as the Indian racing fraternity braces for a new chapter. This development raises questions about logistical challenges and the experience awaiting racing fans in Chennai. What remains certain, however, is that the horses will race on—wherever the tracks may lead.

The Bangalore Turf Club has granted trainer licenses to Michale Eshwer, Sajid Quereshi, Joseph Awale, and Vishesh Puttanna.

Additionally, four assistant trainers—Purushotham, Rajesh Babu, Shoban Babu, and Umer Shareef—have earned the green light to kick off their journeys as full-fledged trainers.

Trainer Padmanabhan, the ever-resilient gladiator of the turf, has emerged victorious in his off-track duel with the Bangalore Turf Club (BTC). After waging what felt like a saga straight out of a courtroom drama, he managed to get the punishment handed by BTC stayed in the sessions court. The court, taking a stand for "natural justice and fair play" (fancy words for common sense, really), ruled in his favour, leading to a compromise petition that finally handed back his license. So, with the legal wrangling behind him, Padmanabhan will be back in action, ready for action in this weekend’s Mysore Derby Day racing. It's almost poetic—like a phoenix rising... with a saddlebag full of paperwork.

Contrary to the announcement made by Bangalore Turf Club Steward Uday Eswaran, bookmakers are unlikely to operate at Saturday's Bangalore races since the government has not yet approved their licenses. This could also mean there might be no bookmakers for the Derby day races, which is a major disappointment for punters. Most prefer to bet with bookmakers because the odds they offer are much higher than what can typically be found on the tote. This could potentially hurt attendance on the big day.
