Africa’s richest race commences as 20 runners line up for the running of this year’s Betway Summer Cup. There’s plenty of feature racing to look forward to as well as massive pools on the day, so get involved!
Race 3 (12:33) – Dave The King
Dave The King is the class of the race and comes into this contest as the hot favourite. He gets the services of Stryker and should return to his best form. The son of Global View is having his second run after a rest and looks to be one of the best bets on the card.
Race 4 (13:08) – Mia Moo
Craig Zackey and Sean Tarry team up to bring home Mia Moo in the Carry On Alice Stakes. The 4-year-old filly has been in exceptional form of late and won impressively last time out to beat some highly regarded horses. In her current form, you can never back against her.
Race 8 (16:00) – Royal Victory
Last year’s defending champion of the Betway Summer Cup, Royal Victory, is expected to keep his crown and trounce his rivals once again in this contest. He produced an impressive comeback run last time out in KZN and is back over the 2000m distance, where he is unbeaten over two starts. With Gavin Lerena aboard, he has every chance and should be right up there at the finish.
Race 10 (17:15) – Poets Warrior
Another one of the better bets on Saturday’s card is Poets Warrior for the Mike and Adam Azzie yard. He’s won four of his last five starts and goes in search of his third successive victory. If all goes according to plan, Gavin Lerena’s confidence should be high on the day and is expected to lead this one home.
