10% Win Bonus On All Indian Races

We pay out a 10% bonus on all India starting price bets. This means, for example, that if you put £10.00 on a horse that goes off at odds of 5.0 then you will win £55.00 rather than £50.00. This bonus is exclusive to RaceBets customers.

Each-Way Betting Also Available

Many of our customers prefer to back horses each-way. This means they are backing the horse to either win, or at least finish in one of the place positions. If the horse does win, both the win and the place part of the each-way bet are successful.

A Brief History Of Indian Horse Racing

Horse racing has a very long and distinguished history, In India. Racing there can be traced further back than in any other part of Asia. In the late 1700s, India’s first racecourse was built in Madras.

The re are five different horse racing authorities. In Pune and Mumbai, events are governed by the Royal Western India Turf Club. There are two racing seasons in Bangalore and both are administered by the Bangalore Turf Club. The body collaborates with the Mysore Race Club, which covers the Mysore area. The three other bodies are the Calcutta Turf Club, The Delhi Race Club and the Hyderabad Race Club.

All horses are bred in India. India has a very well established breeding industry. Every February, the Indian Derby is run at various venues, as the various bodies take turns in hosting the event. The prize-fund is in excess of thirty thousand rupees. The less globally-known Bangalore Derby takes place in July.
