The Royal Calcutta Turf Club (RCTC), founded in 1847 in Calcutta , British India (now Kolkatta, India), became the premier horse racing organization in India during the British Rule .
During the 1930s the Calcutta Derby Sweeps, organized by the club, was the largest sweepstakes in the world . Calcutta was the first base of British power in India .
The Calcutta Turf Club was founded on 20 February 1847. The purpose was to regulate all aspects of horse racing in Calcutta. Members of the club were elected by ballot. A five-person committee ran the club, and five stewards ran the races.
Calcutta at one time exercised racing control and rules of racing over 73 racing centres in the sub-continent extending between Peshwar and Mandalay
