Double header this weekend to showcase RWITC racing at its best
By Vivek Jain
With the short Pune season in its final few weeks, the RWITC is staging a double header of a weekend to showcase racing in all its glory.
The first time sponsor Gourmet Renaissance has come forward to associate with the Grade 1 Indian St.Leger on Saturday. In addition Gourmet will host a food fest with a range of cuisine, a live DJ, and will feature standup comedy star Vikalp Mehta of who has been featured on Comedy Nights with Kapil Sharma and on “India’s Got Talent” who will perform live in the hospitality area.
The equine money spinner, Desert God, India’s highest stakes earner ever, will be the star on Saturday as he bids for another classic win.
On the postponed Southern Command Gold Cup day, the Army has postponed their usual grand show as a mark of respect to our martyred soldiers. The race however will be run, though the new Army Commander will be absent.
The RWITC, in keeping with its mission of supporting good causes will contribute Rs 3 lakhs from its Charities Fund for the next of kin martyred at Uri in Kashmir last Sunday. We have already received confirmation of a further support of Rs 1.35 lakhs from a range of owners- WIRHOA, Dara Mehta, Shiven Surendranath and Pervez Andhyarujina who have been quick to respond. On race day we will reach out to the entire fraternity to step up for a national cause.
