Bangalore summer Derby 2011
I wanted to send my 'stray thoughts and some opinions' to a racing site- Indiarace.com. The site refused to publish it with automated remarks : The form cannot be submitted...The following illegal words were found
(1) mental
I am ,therefore, constrained to put up the same here for perusal and critical comments of readers.
some stray thoughts and some opinions...
A syce is employed by a trainer. A trainer is 'employed' by an owner. An owner is PERMITTED to race his thoroughbreds by a race club and a trainer is licensed by the club to use its FACILITY to run the TBs trained by him and/or owned by him or someone else. The race club to earn money through commission and other legitimate avenues ,normally, provides stabling facility, racing track , basic and special maintenance facilities to thoroughbreds trained/owned by them.
A syce is an employee of a trainer. All dues – old and new, to him must be paid/reimbursed by the trainer or trainer/owner combo. A race club neither has any authority nor sanction to enforce it, but can coerce them by using its laws and bye-laws to ensure that racing goes on smoothly without and hindrance. Most of the race clubs controlled by vested interests , try to avoid taking harsh decisions and allow minor issues to escalate and convert them to WWF. The current crisis is an example of this ostrich like mentality.
The impasse can be resolved with a bit of imaginative modifications of the terms of future races. The PF arrears runs into crores of rupees and many trainers and owners are not in a position to pay it in a lump-sum. Naturally. But they must be able to pay it in installments. A percentage, say, 10 to 15 percent of stake money earned by owner and trainer can be retained by the club and transferred to an account which should pay in installments, a part of the dues, to the syces. Even the entry fee to a race can be increased by the club from 1 percent or 2 percent to 1.2 or 2.2 percent and this additional money can be transferred to that account.
The calculation and the amount of dues ,their disbursement and control may be assigned to an independent component of the club. This will ensure the smooth running of races and may remove/reduce the external, crooked entities of racing from the scene to some extent…
But who will bell the cat?
