Sad day for race lovers
Monday, March 22, 2010
Hoping against hope..entire racing fraternity was expecting relief from Karnataka High court...Alas none came
Indeed Govt had strong case but amazing thing is the speed with which this matter was disposed by court..
Very rarely does Supreme Court goes against rulings of division bench of High court...The orders passed have been as per letter of law
Racing may continue at same place for some time but the damage has already been done....y will owners invest in new costly blood stock when they knw this centre will get closed sooner or later.
In public forums one can see many people expecting Vijay Mallya to bail BTC out or save racing in Bangalore...He is business man first..Sports lover later...Y would he invest in a venture which is brutally opposed by govt...22% tax as of now....many more will follow...iam 100% sure no business establishment would like to associate itself with a venture which faces wrath of Govt.
Everytime i visited BTC..I found more than one reason to return ..
Truly truly sad

but sir u dont stop posting ur valuable selections...hope we expect calcutta selection from u ....u dont make us sad.
it may not be right to state that the Judgments of the Division Bench of the High Courts are not disturbed by the Supreme Court. If that is so there would not have been racing at Guindy race course at Chennai, after Madras High court approved ban on racing. The SC declared that racing is sport reversing the judgment of the High court. BTC should take courage from the said ruling and prefer SLP in suprme court immdtly.
