The Story in Brief
The 16-day Mysuru monsoon racing season will start on September 3 and end on October 25, the organisers have announced. The Mysore Derby and invitational races are scheduled for October 24 and 25 respectively.
The season includes 16 racing dates spread across September and October. Races will be held on September 3, 4, 10, 11, 17, 18, 24, 25, 30 and October 1, 8, 9, 15, 16, 24, 25.
The Indian Opinion
The racing calendar is a fixture of Mysuru’s cultural calendar, but the narrative around horseracing often veers into either romanticising its colonial past or dismissing it as elitist. The truth is more ordinary: it provides livelihoods for stable hands, breeders and vendors, and draws tourists to the city. A concrete test for the season’s impact will be the number of local visitors at the Mysore Derby compared to last year.
