Tote punters will be able to take a double bet on the Gr1 Champions Cup and the Gr3 Gold Cup, run on Saturday 29 July and Sunday 30 July. The two features are run on the weekend of the Gold Cup Festival Of Racing, which brings the curtain down on the current racing season.
With a R100 000 bonus to kick start the pool, the double is a R10 minimum bet. In an interesting flashback to bygone days, the concept of a consolation dividend has been introduced, to reduce the hard luck story aspect of the one that just got away. While the winners share 70% of the pool, a first and second, or second and first, will mean an allocation of 15% of the pool each.
