Zavaray Poonawalla to sponsor marquee races during Mysuru season

Zavaray S. Poonawalla will sponsor the Invitation Cup and Mysore Derby during the 16-day Mysuru racing season starting Thursday. He will also support the 1000 and 2000 Guineas, Mysore Dasara Sprint Championship, and Mysore Race Club Anniversary Cup. The advertised stake money for the season is approximately ₹7 crore, excluding prize money for Invitation Cup weekend races.

Wherever the guaranteed stake money is not fully covered by the Mysore Race Club's contribution and sweepstakes collections, the shortfall will be shared equally between Mr. Poonawalla and the club.
