South Africa’s premier horseracing season, The Summer Of Champions, will be launched at Durbanville Racecourse on Kuda Day, Saturday 4October.
The raceday includes plenty of action on the track and showcases a high quality double feature billing of the R250 000 Gr3 Kuda Matchem Stakes and the R250 000 Gr3 Lanzerac Diana Stakes.
Complimenting the quality racing programme on offer, this family fun day in the idyllic country course setting includes an on course wine route and fruit route. For those wishing to make it the perfect summer’s day out, braai packs will be available on course.
A host of other attractions for the younger set, including Jumping Castles, pony rides, face painting and much more.
A major highlight will be the exciting 2nd annual Jockey’s Chase, a thrilling sprint for a good cause by our leading riders.
Won by former Met winning jockey Aldo Domeyer last year, this year’s event sees a big field of 24 riders competing over 150 m.
Each Jockey is sponsored by various horseracing stakeholders and all proceeds will be donated to the Western Cape Association for Persons with Disabilities. This charity caters for the needs of over 10 000 persons with disabilities annually.
Another important event coinciding with the season launch will be the CTS Ready To Run Sale, which commences after the day’s racing and continues on Sunday 5 October.
Tickets for the wine route and fruit route are available on www.computicket.co.za.
