Forest Flame and Star is Born are getting ready. They will clash with Juliet, Own Opinion and others in Guindy this weekend.
These horses are gearing up for the prestigious Indian Turf Invitation Cup, widely regarded as one of the biggest events in the sport in the country. With this Diamond Jubilee Year edition, the race returns to Chennai after six years and will see the crème de la crème of India’s horse racing circuit in attendance.
“It is a huge event that will showcase the best of thoroughbred horses across the country,” says Madras Race Club chairman MAMR Muthiah, seated comfortably at his sprawling Chettinad Palace. “We want to bring back the glory of Madras racing as it was three decades ago.”
