The Royal Calcutta Turf Club (RCTC) founded in 1847 in Calcutta British India (now Kolkata India) became the premier horse racing organization in India during the British Raj. At one time it was the governing body for almost all courses in the sub-continent defining and applying the rules that governed the sport. During its heyday the races it organized were among the most important social events of the calendar opened by the Viceroy of India.
