The RWITC Cup at Singapore on Sunday
By Vivek Jain
It was a few years ago, on a private visit to the Singapore Turf Club (STC), that arising out of a casual conversation with the CEO of STC, we decided to expand on our relationship, by agreeing to host reciprocal trophies in the name of our Clubs.
The first running of the RWITC Cup in Singapore was probably in the year 2012, and was shown live at Mahalakshmi.
Expanding on this idea, we approached the Irish on their usual visit to Pune on the Irish race day, and they agreed to host a similar race in Leapordstown, Ireland a few years ago.
The RWITC race has been run each year at Singapore, since its inception, as has been the STC race at the Mumbai Season.
Coming Sunday will be yet another edition of our race at Kranji, Singapore, and on the same day there will be races named after the Brisbane Racing Club and the Japan Racing Association, giving an international feel to the day.
Though a small effort, the idea has been well received, and certainly helps to cement ties between sister racing Clubs across the world.
With time, we hope to replicate this initiative with other racing jurisdictions.
