Horse racing will return to Mahalaxmi today. The Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) has framed a small, seven-race card for the opening day, but you would be way off the mark if you try to judge the quality of racing based on the inaugural day’s card.

Mumbai is a premier racing center and home to the prestigious Indian Classics, so the quality of horseflesh and racing is obviously the best in the country.
