The Yohan Poonawalla Turf Club Trophy will be run at Pune Race Course on August 8, honouring Yohan and Michelle Poonawalla for their contribution to the restoration of the Poona Turf Club House and recognising the Poonawalla family's decades-long legacy in Indian horse racing, breeding and promotion of the sport.
Pune, August 4, 2026: The Yohan Poonawalla Turf Club Trophy, to be run at the Pune Race Course on Saturday, August 8, is more than just another feature event of the season. It is a fitting tribute to a family whose passion, commitment and vision have made the Poonawalla name one of the most respected in Indian horse racing.
Honouring The Poonawallas
The Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) has inducted this race in honour of Yohan and Michelle Poonawalla's contribution towards the complete renovation and refurbishment of the Poona Turf Club House, restoring it to its former glory at a crucial time when the club was in dire need.
This has resulted in a tremendous boost to the club's food and beverage, boarding and revenue, and, most crucially, many crores have been collected through new and children's memberships.
