FROG AT THE TURF AND MORE ON INDEPENDENCE WEEKEND
By Vivek Jain
The Independence Weekend, year after year the racing fraternity make a beeline to Pune to holiday and race with the monsoon drizzle to boost. With I-Day failing on Monday a large attendance is a foregone conclusion. To make it extra special, we have signed on the well known music night club Blue Frog, our hospitality partner to bring in a special zing to the Sunday’s race day. Live DJ’s including DJ Clement will rock the members’ lawns with exotic cocktails and lip smacking food. One can expect Pune’s trendy crowd to turn up on the Sunday afternoon, what with the well known Govind Thakker and Ishan Bhalerao in charge of the Club. Guests have been invited to do the crazy frog + and the fun is expected to go on well past sundown. And the good times continue following weekend, as Blue Frog celebrates its second anniversary with special offerings for RWITC members.
As an added bonus, the Audi Blue Frog Style Files will select five most stylishly dressed people to get to pick an Audi of their choice to keep for the evening and drive it to Blue Frog at Ishanya Mall where a complimentary dinner for two awaits the winners.
The race of the weekend is the Independence, sponsored by PRA Realty for several years. Run by the affable Bharucha brothers, Rustom and Zubin, and is perhaps the only race in the country offering a Rs 10 lakh+ purse for a Class 4 set. It always draws a full field and this year is no exception with 18 lining up for the spoils and one runner in Arlene balloted out as per the rules. It should be a cracker with no outstanding runner making it a real humdinger.
The Independence Weekend is the first of many big weekends to follow, and three new sponsors nipping at the wings.
