Bengaluru: Kambala jockey Srinivas Gowda is not sure about his participation in the trial at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) centre in Bengaluru, which was arranged by Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Kiren Rijiju.
“I do not know whether I will run in trial tomorrow or not but I will be in Bengaluru tomorrow to meet the CM. I need to consult my Kambala academy mentor. I need to rest also,” Gowdawas quoted speaking to ANI on Sunday, February 16.
“In Kambala race, heels play an important role whereas it is toes in a track race. Not just jockeys, but even Buffaloes have a role to play in Kambala. In track race, this is not the case,” he said.
However, he will be meeting Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Monday in Bengaluru.
Srinivas became overnight sensation and netizens compared him to the fastest sprinter in the world — Usain Bolt and urged sporting bodies to take note of the jockey.
