 The Telegraph - Calcutta   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
While the youngest racing centre in the country touched Rs 250 crore in the last financial year and frontrunner Bangalore Turf Club crossed the Rs 400-crore mark, Royal Calcutta Turf Club (RCTC), the oldest horseracing institution in the country (established 1847), is lying low at Rs 80 crore.
Even as the Royal Calcutta Golf Club (RCGC) remains out of bounds for golfers and the Tollygunge Club idyll is broken by placards of protest, RCTC is limping to the finish line.
Plagued by a crippling cash crunch, inadequate infrastructure, a “woefully lopsided” labour structure, an endemic lack of involvement from members, and now, a void at the top (with both the CEO and general manager ready to leave), the turf club is slipping fast on the national stakes of organised racing.
