Great racing on a fair track, secure parking, beautifully maintained gardens and fried kingklip and chips for R2-50. It was a winner allround!
The passing this past week of two Clairwood stalwarts within two days of each other heralds a sad end to 2018 for their family, friends and colleagues
The park will be developed on the site of the former Clairwood Race Course, which was acquired by Capital in 2012 for R430 million
A large portion of the proceeds of the sale of Clairwood were ring-fenced.It would be good to know if, when and how these funds are to be utilized. Surely, restoring Greyville to its former glory should be a priority?
It is KZN horseracing’s first Christmas in close on a century without Clairwood after the Garden Course shut its doors in August this year.Note: The meeting starts earlier than usual at 16h20.

Sad days as we say goodbye to Clairwood – an institution in South African racing
Not the bus for us as Clairwood race 6 in jeopardy

Clearly we were caught off guard by the damaged cable and we apologise unreservedly for the incident which we view in a very serious light, says Hawkins after start shocker
A man we are privileged to have known as a loyal friend of this great game and of the Sporting Post, a personal mate, and one of South African horseracing’s great characters, Shaheen Shaw, a husband, loving Dad and Grandad, passed away suddenly at the age of 55
The sad reality is that no matter who did what wrong, the Peter saga has been a scar on the SA horseracing landscape for far too long and besides the old favourite of justice delayed, it has lingered lengths ahead of KZN star Royal Victory’s big win in the 2023 renewal of the Highveld showpiece
Time has flown by and it’s been thirty years since the first issue of the Sporting Post hit the shelves in October 1994
The champagne corks were popping at the magnificent Owloon Horses in Paarl earlier this week when their 2024 Hollywoodbets Durban July winning broodmare Souk delivered a handsome and beautifully conformed Fire Away colt
