TAB and TAB Gold online customers can take in 30 hours of astounding racing action this weekend, comprising the famous Breeders’ Cup meeting in the USA, the Allied Steelrode Onamission Charity Mile raceday at Turffontein and the first of four meetings that make up the annual Melbourne Cup Carnival.
It all kicks off with the first of the two Breeders’ Cup meetings at 20:35 on Friday. This year’s World Championships extravaganza is being held at Del Mar on the Pacific Ocean coastline in California. The five Breeders’ Cup championship races for two-year-olds will be run at the Friday meeting with the other nine championship events, including the headline $7-million Breeders’ Cup Classic, on Saturday.
Friday’s meeting at Del Mar will end at 02:25 on Saturday and online customers can take a short nap before the Victoria Derby day action at Flemington in Melbourne gets under way little more than two hours later.
TAB and TAB Gold will bet on the last seven races at Flemington and this is an all-graded-race spectacular no horseracing fan should miss. The card is topped by the $2-million Victoria Derby over 2500m for three-year-olds and comprises three Grade 1 events plus two Grade 2s and four Grade 3s.
Charity Mile is one of 4Racing’s mega racedays in Joburg. Six feature races will be run and there’s a chance to land a big win for a small amount in a R1-million carryover Pick 6 pool, which should total some R5 million.
The second day of Breeders’ Cup starts at 19:05 in the evening with the Breeders’ Cup Classic at 23:41.
