Post Derby, the dust is still swirling on the picturesque track of the Mahalaxmi racecourse. Every time Indian racing’s most prestigious event comes to a close, it is time to hold on to the binoculars and take a good hard look at this green emerald of SoBo, turf of the sport of kings and a vital lung of the concrete-covered city.

The green land serves as an easy-to-access recreational space for thousands of walkers and joggers every morning and evening. The middle of this green bowl is used by boys to play football. There is a polo ground on one side, and the Amateur Riders’ Club too, is located here.
