Mansoor Shah, ex-trainer who plied his trade at the Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) until 2018, passed away on Monday at Pune. He was 70.

Shah had retired from the profession in December 2018. He was undergoing treatment after being diagnosed for cancer last year.  Shah had a great following among small, ordinary racegoers because his winners often received confident backing, and fetched lucrative prices.
