Cross Breeds

What is the most popular thoroughbred horse race in India?

The reason why I am asking this in the cricket section is because I have asked it in the travel section India and I got no reply. I am hoping that because there are some avid fans of cricket that you would also be horse racing fans. I have posted it before in the horse racing section no answer.

3. The Indian Turf Invitation Cup is the biggest race in India. It is held annually by rotation at one of the principal 5 racing centres in the country - the turf authorities of Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad. It covers the classic distance of 2,400 metres, which requires speed + stamina. The best horses from around the country are invited by the individual Turf Authorities to participate in this race. Being for four-year olds, the race cannot be won by any horse more than once. Since the invited horses, jockeys and trainers are already champions in their own right, this race is truly the 'Champion of Champions'. The fight between heroic filly Jacqueline and colt Becket, known as the rebel with a cause, for the 2010 Invitation Cup, was billed as the fight of the decade with a pulsating finish between the two horses. You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0k1DisK1UM The 2011 Indian Turf Invitation Cup was to be held at Chennai, but with Chennai declining, last year's hosts RWITC (the Mumbai racecourse) will be hosting it this year as well, in the 1st week of March.
