The S.A. Poonawalla Million, one of the marquee races in the Pune racing calendar, will be staged here on Sunday (Nov. 7), behind closed doors and without spectators. The race was not conducted last year as the racing season was cancelled due to the pandemic.
The Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) had sought permission from the State Government for online betting operations last week and from this Sunday onwards, RWITC will be offering betting vouchers worth ₹700 to the racing enthusiasts who will subscribe to live streaming which costs ₹1000 (valid for that day) on www.play.rwitc.com.
The Poonawalla Million (1,600m) (Gr. 3) is named after the late Soli A. Poonawalla, a pioneer of thoroughbred breeding in India and the father of Cyrus and Zavaray Poonawalla.
