Rashid Byramji, the horse trainer who, for decades, kept on breaking his own stellar records until he retired in 2017, passed away on Saturday morning at Bangalore. He was 88.
An institution in himself, Byramji was a third generation trainer, his grandfather Rustomjee Byramjee having initiated the family profession of training racehorses after he migrated from Iran to settle in Poona (as Pune was then known) around 1890. He was easily the most famous, and certainly the most accomplished professional, not only in his family, but also among all the trainers in the country. He is survived by son Darius who now plies the family trade at Bangalore as a fourth generation practitioner.
