Dear Sirs,

                                        Re:       Mumbai Meeting 2008-09 and Annual Sale 2009

I write to inform you that the Committee of the Club at its meeting held on 4th December 2008 has decided to tentatively commence the Mumbai Meeting 2008-09 from Sunday, 1st February 2009, looking to the progress of the horses at Pune.

It was also decided that as far as possible the Indian 1000 Guineas, the Indian 2000 Guineas, the Indian Oaks and the Indian Derby will be held at the Mumbai Meeting 2008-2009 on rescheduled dates and the Indian St. Leger could be run during the next Pune Meeting 2009.

It was decided that the Indian Derby be tentatively rescheduled to end March / early April 2009 and the Indian Oaks be rescheduled to the third week of March. The two Guineases races could be run end February / early March.

As regards the Annual Sales 2009, it was decided that the same be held in Pune as soon as feasible in March 2009 and the exact dates would depend on the situation prevalent in Western India. The dates are also dependant on dates on which various Turf Authorities/Racing Centres would permit movement of two year olds into their racing stables. The date of the second installment of the initial entry fee for the Sales, which is 7th January 2009, has been rescheduled to a later date, to be
decided once the date for the Sales is finalized. The last date for the final entry has also been extended and a fresh date will be
decided as soon as the date for the sale is finalized.


Yours faithfully,
Secretary,
ROYAL WESTERN INDIA TURF CLUB LTD.
