Bonus for Hollywood customers
Following a drama filled Kentucky Derby on Saturday, South Africa’s leading bookmakers Hollywood have decided to pay all straight winning bets out on the favourite Maximum Security.
Watch the race here:
Maximum Security crossed the line first but was placed 17th by the stewards after being disqualified for interference and stripped of his title.
Country House, who had run second, was declared the winner.
