Royal Calcutta Turf Club
The Royal Calcutta Turf Club, established in 1847, is one of the oldest and most prestigious horse racing institutions in Asia. Nestled near the iconic Maidan and Victoria Memorial in Kolkata, this historic track dominated British Indian sporting life during the colonial era. Beyond its grandstands and lush tracks lies one of Kolkata's most famous spectral legends: the tragic story of George Williams and his prized white thoroughbred, Pride, whose ghost is said to gallop across the foggy turf under moonlight.
