Mock races set for 26 July as MTCJC delays season launch by one week.

The MTC Jockey Club (MTCJC) informs the public and its partners that the start of the 2025 racing season has been postponed by one week and is now scheduled for Saturday, 2nd August 2025, subject to final approval from the Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA).

This decision was taken following a request from licensed trainers, in consultation with the GRA, and in view of the need for various operators to be properly licensed and connected to the Mauritius Revenue Authority (MRA). The aim is to ensure both strong participation of horses and full compliance with all regulatory and operational requirements, allowing for a competitive and seamless start to the season.

As part of ongoing preparations, test races (mock races) will be held on Saturday, 26th July 2025. A limited number of spectators will be invited to watch the action from the stands. Merchants will also be present on-site to help recreate the atmosphere of a real race day.

We thank the public for their understanding and continued support, and we look forward to welcoming you very soon at Champ de Mars.

Sincerely,
Santosh K. Gujadhur
President
