Easter & Racing at Turffontein

Turffontein will be the place to be for Easter holiday Saturday, March 26. Free entrance to the races with a complimentary Easter egg given to each patron who comes racing, stand a chance of finding a R5000 betting voucher inside the wrapped Easter egg. In addition to this a Buffet Easter lunch will be served in the Furious Room and on the City Deck and a place can be booked for R185 per person.

The latter two venues are advantageous places to be for both a bird’s eye view of the racing and to watch the Dubai World Cup in comfort.

There are not only three Graded events to look forward to at the nine-race meeting, but there will also be live big screen coverage of the Dubai World Cup, where trainers of the like of Mike de Kock and possibly Paul Lafferty will be flying the South African flag.

On the card is the Gr 2 Senor Santa Handicap over 1200m, which attracts some of the country’s best sprinters, as well as the Gr 2 Colorado King Stakes over 2000m, which is often used as a springboard for horses either preparing or attempting to qualify for the Gr 1 R4 million President’s Champions Challenge.

There is also the Gr 3 Sycamore Sprint over 1200m, which is always competitive and is contested by fillies and mares who are blessed with speed.

Bookings can be made on 011 681 1702.
