The Royal Western India Turf Club in association with Casino Royale Goa will score a first with the 'Racing for a Cause' event on Sunday. The event, which promises to give people the opportunity to become horse owners for a day, will be used to raise money for the city's Happy Home and School of the Blind.

Donors of R 10,000 and above would be eligible for a selected draw of lots. They would then be awarded the status of an, 'Owner for a Day' of a horse participating in the Casino Royale Goa Indian 2000 Guineas (Grade 1).
Total number of donors selected from the draw depends on the number of runners for the race. The selected donors will be invited to the parade ring to witness their associated horses as the excitement to race time builds. The first five selected owners will be taken in a special patrol car, which will drive alongside the horses during the race.
