S Ganapathy was felicitated at BTC on Sunday.
The lone enemies’ declared Subbiah Ganapathy, dressed smartly in a vintage golf flat cap, his warm smile reflecting heartfelt gratitude.
“That’s why so many people came out today. I’m so happy, it makes me so happy,” he told DH.
Just minutes earlier, the Bangalore Turf Club had honoured the 75‑year‑old legendary trainer, paying tribute as he stepped away from horse racing after a remarkable 25‑year career.
From owners and trainers to jockeys, breeders, stable hands and the rest of the entire racing community paused to cheer Ganapathy for his extraordinary legacy and lasting impact.
Legendary, the term announcer uttered while ending his tribute, sat comfortably on the septuagenarian’s green seat list of achievements his CV boasts.
