Conveived in 1989, HRC's Rs. 70 million project was a dream-come-true in 1993. HRC's Grand Stand at the first enclosure is the country's largest and most-modern and compares with the best anywhere across the world.
The Grand Stand is a one-stop integrated affair comprising a 2-tier gallery with a chair strength of 5000 per tier making for a combined seating capacity of 10,000. The entire infrastructure has been so designed so as to offer the viewer a 180 degree view of the entire course from start to finish...the delight of any punter. Snack bars, cooled drinking water, toilets, huge lobbies for tote betting, 218 betting windows with computerised betting terminals...all an integral part of India's most majestic Grand Stand.
The Grand Stand also includes a new Paddock Viewing Gallery capable of accommodating about 2000 viewers. The new Book Makers' Ring (with no supporting column) spans an area of 16000 sq.ft. This unique structure has the capacity to accommodate more than 30 stalls within.
