Cape Feature Loses Longstanding Sponsor

Cape racing's 'worst kept secret'?

The loss of a staunch sponsor has emerged with the announcement of the final field for the R400 000 Gr2 Western Cape Fillies Championship today.

Equus Champion Lady In Black lines up at her first Cape start next Saturday

Sponsored for seven years by leading equine transporter Choice Carriers, the high quality 1400m event has again attracted a bumper entry headed by visiting Equus champion Lady In Black. The daughter of Dynasty has drawn wide as she takes on fellow undefeated local, Magical Wonderland.

 

The loss of a longstanding sponsor in tough economic times does not reflect favourably on the management of resources.

The value of the continuity aspect is also important as races chop and change identity with regularity these days, as sponsors come and go.

There was no response on an emailed request to Phumelela for a reaction and clarity on the sponsorship.
