NHRA Notice To Trainers – Racing On Sunday
Jason, are you really saying that if punters are not happy a race meeting should be abandoned
And punters depend on certain jockeys riding and will not be happy with replacement jockeys
They depend

Hollywoodbets Durban July 2025 – 61 First Entries
I've explained in my several responses to you the challenges horses with ratings (100 to 110) face in getting into the July.
Oriental Charm is an exceptionally bad example to use - his run in the Cape Derby last year gave a hint that he would be better over distance.
He confirmed this in the 1900 and Cup Trial against older horses - he was the real deal - I posted many times here about this after seeing him in action.
Empower yourself with some knowledge on the KZN Program and the weight allocations versus the ratings - Garrix might still get in via the Winter Series but would definitely be a major struggle via the KZN races - the same applies to many of the horses

Congrats to Hollywood - to down the hot favourite, Jonbon (8-15 fav), at Sandown was a victory few pundits had predicted.
Devin Heffer says "we were blown away by the performance" and that's understandable as the grey was returning from a year off and now rates one of the best chasers around.
Cheltenham next year will surely be on the agenda. Exciting times for Hollywood

No Fredrick quite understand that racing is built around the rating of horses and how they weighted/handicapped and if don't understand this or are not able to analyze will be wastng time punting
That is how had a return of R 12 200 for R 200 when punting Tax Haven in the TAB Gold Bowl Saturday
Horse rated 75 only carrying 56 kg ( Tax Haven)
Against horse rated 107 having to lug 59.5 kg
