Last Tuesday’s abortive meeting on the revamped Vaal Classic track has caused some red faces all round
“The Vaal sand is not a racetrack and I can’t imagine there is a worse track anywhere else on earth,” says multiple champion jockey Piere Strydom
The Vaal sand surface came under the spotlight again with a complaint about kickback from the jockeys. At least the two feature races were run and only the final two races abandoned
It is no mean feat to win at feature level from 1400m to 2400m, but My Best Shot proved equal to the task and set himself up for East Cape Horse Of The Year honours – and maybe a Hollywoodbets Durban July supplementary entry?
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
Cape lightweight Morne Winnaar has come a long way since being plucked from near ignominy by former Cape champion trainer Joey Ramsden over twenty years ago
