The 2024 East Cape Awards were held at Fairview Racecourse on Friday 6 September.

The awards ceremony announced deserving winners across 18 categories, each awarded for their exceptional contributions to the sport.

The highlight of the evening was the award of Horse of the Season – presented to the Allan Greeff-trained Joy And Peace, who also walked away with Champion 3 Year old filly and Champion Polytrack Filly.

Bred by Wilgerbosdrift & Mauritzfontein, the Halo Syndicate-raced Joy And Peace is by Varsfontein resident Master Of My Fate (Jet Master), out of the Spectrum mare Amazing Grace.

Not unexpectedly, Alan Greeff sealed yet another champion trainer title, while the veteran’s stable jockey Richard Fourie will have more silverware to find place for at home after a sensational season.
