The Cape Racing & Breeding Awards will be held at the Lanzerac Hotel on 7 August 2015. The function is hosted jointly by the Racing Association and the Cape Breeders Club.
The move of Super Saturday to the first day of the new season has caused some delay with the finalisation of the awards in certain sections.
The racing and breeding nominees and awards sections are shown seperately.
