An hors d’oeuvre is an appetiser or starter served before a meal. This Horse de Oeuvre though is a finisher, served up by the Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) at the end of the Mumbai racing season.

RWITC will hold the Indian Racing Carnival on April 1 and 2, the last weekend of Mumbai racing. There will be 14 races—seven each day with evening racing programmes.
