kolkata,calcutta horse racing

Trainer Javed Khan seems to be is a firm believer of cashing in on his horses when they run into form. At least, Alarico’s facile victory, last Thursday in the 1,400m Harry The Horse Cup, fully justified such a belief. About a fortnight ago, the six-year-old had gone down fighting to Brilliant Victory, despite his weight disadvantage against the winner. On this day, Alarico was enjoying a substantial pull at the weights from his seven rivals , including the likes of Retained Asset, Fabulous Emperor and Way to the Stars who are no mean horses. However, everything worked to his advantage as fitness was the key factor in the field and the Steinbeck-As Ever son clearly advertised it when he beat the field hollow.


Jockey Mohammed Islam, too, rode a well-judged race. He let Alarico settle behind the last outing winner, Body And Soul, and the top-weighted Retained Asset, till they turned for home. Given the signal, the favourite marched ahead to score without much sweat over a heavily punished Retained Asset and a late finishing Paladin.

Daniel David’s Steal The Glory also proved a cut above the rest in the Alamito Handicap. Steal The Glory fully justified the favourite's tag, winning by six long lengths after taking the charge from the front-running Lady Superior, at the halfway mark.

Earlier on, David’s Majestic Poet had delivered the goods in the Contralto Handicap. The 7-4 favourite was a chance-ride for jockey M. Mark after G Ross had reported sick. Mark allowed his main rival, Live It Love, to make the running with a two-length lead, which hardly proved sufficient the moment Mark released the brakes on the favourite. In fact, it was Genesis who was an impressive third in spite of going all over the place in the straight.

David could have ended the day with a treble but the replacement of the indisposed Ross, by Surjeet Singh, on a heavily fancied Cool Magic, in the 1 400m Stoney Valley Handicap, cost the trainer dearly. The 7-4 joint-favourite, with Harvinder Singh Bath’s Prospective Queen, was shown daylight at the top of the turn when the two leaders, Betelgeuse and Rapid Return, ran short of the steam. At that stage of the race, Prospective Queen was trailing the field following a tardy start. Surjeet, however, squandered the advantage in the final furlong when the Bath-trainee got into the top gear. The jockey not only surrendered the lead in the final 50m, he also failed to keep the second slot following Rapid Return’s renewed bid.

Mystro helped trainer Vijay Singh opene his monsoon season’s account. S.Shanker, guiding the 16-10 favourite, was never seen to be perturbed with the runaway tactics of Aptitude and settled the Tirol son in the second bunch with True Beauty and Mythical Star till 300m from home. Opting for the rail-side passage, thereafter, Mystro simply cruised past the front-runners to record a four-length-plus verdict over Mythical Star and the late-finishing Roofer.

The 1,100m Thrifty Allan Handicap provided a sizzling finish with four horses – Acrostic, Wonnabee, Mozart and Falaknuma – in a close huddle at the winning post. They finished in the order named with a shade over a length separating the four. Mozart was at the helm of affair till about 200m from the winning post. However, the Mischevious Music son found it hard to stretch himself further when the other three, running in a close proximity, started covering ground in the last 150 metres. Acrostic was the first one to overtake the leader and the Bath-trainee, ridden by apprentice Afzal Khan, never surrendered the advantage to any of his rivals, though his victory-margin was a mere ‘nose.’ Wonnabee, the joint-favourite with the top-weighted Ecstatic Pride, was impressive in defeat. He was the fastest finishing horse in the end, galloping on the far side of the track.

Gorgonzola's victory, in the Bachelor’s Wedding Handicap left a bad taste in the mouth. The Poet’s Dream –Dance Attack daughter had trailed the field in her last outing only a fortnight ago. However, on this occasion, the filly took a commanding three-length lead from the start and lasted out to score. Trainer Shafiq Khan was lucky to escape with just a routine warning.

jockeys british

Jimmy has ridden more than 1,200 winners in the UK


He started his apprenticeship with Jim Bolger in Ireland before moving to England and joining Mike O'Neill, followed by Luca Cumani.


His first winner came at Thirsk on Hitchinstown in 1988 and his first major success soon followed when he won the Ayr Gold Cup in 1990 aboard the 50-1 shot Joveworth.


In 1990 he won the Apprentices' championship with 47 winners.


In 1998 he was offered the illustrious job of the retained jockey to the late Robert Sangster which was instantly successful when he won the Racing Post Trophy on Commander Collins in the same year.


Jimmy’s best horse in recent times is the Cheveley Park Stud owned, Nannina, who he won the Corontaion Cup on in 2006.

life of a race horse

The racing career of horses bred for Flat racing typically starts as a two year old. At this age, the Thoroughbred will be able to run over relatively short distances against horses of the same age. From this time onwards, the horse spends the majority of its racing life in the care of a trainer, who is responsible for ensuring the horse runs to the best of its ability.



Once horses have learned the basics of racing alongside other horses, and then learned to stride away from them, their racing career settles into pattern. Routine training is combined with a specific programme of exercise designed to bring the horse to his peak for a race. The trainer will control the amount and intensity of exercise each horse has in his care, and it is unlikely that the horse will gallop every day – otherwise even the best horses would burn out.



Like all modern-day athletes, racehorse trainers take advantage of the latest exercise and dietary regimes. For example, many trainers use equine swimming pools to work horses’ muscles and cardiovascular systems without putting excessive strain on their legs.

Although a horse’s training regime is organised around their racing programme, trainers will work their horses with a serious gallop two days per week. Based on their ability and fitness, flat horses can stay in training up to around 10 years old. However, it is common for top-class flat racehorses to stop racing soon after their peak years of three or four so they can maximise their potential at stud.

Horses destined to race over jumps have, of course, to learn how to handle hurdles and fences, as well as gallop. This process, known as schooling, can be difficult for some horses, and required great patience from trainers.

First off, horses are tried out over a series of small poles without a rider, until their confidence increases. Once they are ready, chasers and hurdlers are schooled at home over the appropriate obstacles.

Typically, jumps racehorses start their careers in extended Flat races – known as bumpers – to get them used to the longer distances involved. The following season, most jumps racehorses will compete in hurdles races. These are smaller obstacles than fences, and hurdles races tend to be run over shorter distances. Depending on the physical attributes and aptitude of the horse, the trainer may then switch him to steeplechase fences.

Like humans, all horses are different. Some racehorses will be able to race a great deal during a short period of time. Others might need lots of time between races to recover. Similarly, some horses are ready to win at the beginning of the season, whereas others may reach their peak fitness after two or three races.

Social Service in ttd tirumala

TTD has taken many social service initiatives in areas like education, medical treatment, and rehabilitation of the physically challenged and economically backward. It also provides aid to authors and subsidised equipment to other temples.



The objective of the Balaji Institute of Surgery, Research and Rehabilitation for the Disabled (BIRRD) is to provide medical treatment/facilities to those suffering from polio myelitis, cerebral palsy, congenital anomalies, spinal injuries, and the orthopaedically handicapped, particularly the poor, irrespective of religion, caste or creed.

In 1994, BIRRD was converted to a Trust. TTD provides a matching grant to the Trust, equivalent to the donations it receives. A proposal for 100% exemption under the Indian Income Tax Act, for donations to BIRRD is under consideration.

BIRRD operates from a spacious hospital with a capacity of 250 beds, built at a cost of Rs. 4.5 crore. It has five operation theatres, a modern Artificial Limb Fitting Centre (that provides aids and appliances, free of cost, to physically handicapped patients) and a sophisticated Physiotherapy Department. Research is also conducted here.

Currently, BIRRD is in the process of collecting data pertaining to polio-affected children in Andhra Pradesh, after which it will start screening patients at the district level. With the help of voluntary organisations, three districts have already been covered under this scheme.

BIRRD proposes to start a Total Spinal Trauma Care Centre with comprehensive rehabilitation. It also plans to introduce post graduate and graduate courses in Physiotherapy.

Sri Venkateswara Poor Home is a hospital that caters to the needs of leprosy patients. It is one of the largest of its kind in India, and admits persons suffering from various forms of leprosy, from all over India.

The hospital is well-equipped, with twenty inpatient wards. The outpatient block has an operation theatre and physiotherapy section.

Patients are treated with intensive multi-drug therapy and given physiotherapy. They are also educated about the prevention and care of leprosy. The average duration of treatment varies from six to eighteen months.

During treatment, patients also undergo occupational therapy where they are trained in skills like carpentry, shoe-making and weaving. The training helps in the patients' rehabilitation in society.
The inpatients are given training in agriculture. They are trained to grow different crops. The produce is used by the hospital; the excess produce is sent to the other institutions of TTD.

TTD set up the Leprosy Rehabilitation Promotional Unit (LRPU) in 1988 in the Sri Venkateswara Poor Home campus at Tirupati under the National Leprosy Eradication Programme of the Government of India. The Government of India provides full financial assistance - Rs 4 lakh annually.

The objective of LRPU is to provide reconstructive surgery and artificial prosthetic support to leprosy patients and help them in rehabilitation.

Patients are provided several facilities including free food and accommodation.

The Poor Home has set its sights on the total eradication of leprosy in India. It aims to increase awareness among the public about leprosy through health education. It keeps abreast with the latest technical know-how by deputing its staff to various medical institutions, and conducting seminars periodically to focus on the latest trends in treatment and rehabilitation measures.

TTD has been inspired by Mother Teresa who once remarked, "When I am washing the wounds of a leper, I feel I am doing great service to the Lord ".
