KARACHI: A small four-race card awaits racegoers in the Gymkhana race meeting which takes place after a fortnight at the Karachi Racecourse on Sunday.

The races that were scheduled to take place on May 17 were cancelled due to mourning that was announced in the aftermath of Shia Ismaili community massacre that left 46 dead and several injured at Safoora Goth
