The Citizen|August 29, 2024
Racing’s cup runneth over. The South African game got another big boost this week with the announcement of a major new feature race meeting in Cape Town – the Cape Racing Festival Sales Day in mid-March, with prize money rising to R10 million over an initial three-year period.

Prizes galore in new feature race

The Big Cap, a R5-million handicap with conditions, will be the marquee contest on the day.

This is a “slot” or “prospector ticket” race, modelled on the big-money Everest race in Australia and similar to the Gold Rush races on Cape Town Met day.
