Champion miler takes delay in his stride and arrives safely in Johannesburg ahead of Saturday’s big race at Turffontein
An investigation into betting patterns, both locally and internationally, has been launched by the National Horseracing Authority
The highly anticipated first race on the revamped Hollywoodbets Greyville polytrack on Wednesday was well received by stakeholders, but was not without its drama
