RWITC racing awards
A racing awards ceremony, on the lines of the time tested film and business awards, will be held at Pune on Saturday hosted by The O Hotels, with support from the RWITC. Vivek Jain, Chairman of the Jury, stated, “Its a unique event for us and a ceremony of this type was long overdue. Its a beginning and we hope to emulate this season after season.”
Awards under several categories will be presented based on objective criteria, the norms being fixed by a jury comprising
Vivek Jain, Geoffrey Nagpal, Ashwin Mehta and Gautam Kotwal. The formula adopted by the Turf Authorities has been taken as a guideline.
An interesting dimension has been to give awards to the “small” owner (defined as owners with 10 or fewer horses) and “small” trainer (defined as 20 or fewer horses) Prizes for champion sire, filly and juvenile will add a special dimension.
Another innovation is determing champion juvenile by a public participation poll, by e mails and nomination forms on race days.
O Hotels will also present four special awards for lifetime achievement, leadership excellence, contribution to racing and the legendary trainer award.
A huge congregation from the racing world will join in the celebrations at a glittering ceremony at the O Banquet Hall on Saturday.
