Horses and vintage cars: A special day at the race course

On a recent sunny morning, Lucknowites gathered at the Lucknow Race Course to witness The Maj Gen Mahendra Pratap Memorial Cup Race. They had a good time as they cheered and put bets on their favourite horse on the field.
The owners were excited to see their horses run on the track. Anjali Chopra shared “I look forward to this cup as I have my own horse participating in it. These events are a good place to socialize, catch up and spend quality time with friends.”
