RACECOURSE AT GUINDY
The racecourse is 200 years old, with a
lodge, Three Pavilions, a Gymkhana Club (constructed in 1933), a racetrack of 2335 meters, and Golf grounds inside the track. When
we went inside the race course, it was a separate world, busily running inside
the premises of the Race Course. The official explained to us the details of the
raceground, turf, and betting (learned very little – enough of it). It was very interesting to note that there is a swimming pool and a treadmill for the horses, too. The Pavilions with chairs are provided for
members named after Dr. M. A. M. Ramaswamy, and the middle one was
constructed by the kings Bobbili and Venkatagiri during the year 1931, whose
names are written on the stand.
There is an air-conditioned enclosure between the
first and middle stands meant for VIPs like the Chief Minister and
Governor. It was a panoramic sight to see Madras from the top of the Dr. M. A. M. Ramaswamy stand. Many important events are happening here, including the shooting of cinema and love stories too.
