JACARANDA FM Named Official Radio Partner of the 2025 Betway Summer Cup

October 2025

Johannesburg, South Africa — 4Racing are proud to announce JACARANDA FM as the Official Radio Partner for the 2025 Betway Summer Cup, Gauteng’s premier horse racing event.

The Summer Cup has been Johannesburg’s marquee race day, dating back to the very first running on 15 July 1887 and making it as deeply rooted in the Highveld soil as the City itself.

This year’s event takes place on Saturday, 29 November 2025, at Turffontein Racecourse, and is themed ‘Jozi Rising’ to celebrate all that makes the metropolis unique.

Jacaranda FM joins headline sponsor Betway, supported by Jetour South Africa, TAB, Racing Today, Racing 240 and BET International.

“We extend a warm welcome to Jacaranda FM to the Summer Cup family,” said 4Racing CEO, Patrick Duff. “Partnering with Jacaranda FM as our official radio partner for the 2025 Betway Summer Cup is a powerful alignment of two brands that understand the importance of community, energy, and unforgettable experiences. Their passion for storytelling and connection mirrors our own commitment to revitalising racing and bringing it closer to the people.

We are excited to work with a media partner that not only amplifies our message but shares our vision for celebrating Johannesburg’s vibrant spirit. This collaboration is key to our broader strategy to reimagine the future of racing — and we’re just getting started.”

“Partnering with the Betway Summer Cup is a natural fit for Jacaranda FM. Both brands share a passion for bringing people together through unforgettable experiences. We’re excited to amplify this iconic event and celebrate Johannesburg’s dynamic spirit across our platforms,” adds Vuyani Dombo, Managing Director at Jacaranda FM.

A stellar draft of 42 nominations was received at first entry stage on 8 October, including 2024 Betway Summer Cup winner Atticus Finch and 2023 winner Royal Victory. Supported by a host of some of the top racing talent from around the country, the field is shaping up to being another clash for the ages. The final fields and draws will be announced on 19 November. With announcements for the full undercard and entertainment eagerly awaited, the 2025 Betway Summer Cup is firmly on track to deliver as Johannesburg’s best end of year party!

General Access tickets start at R100, while full hospitality packages start at R2250 per person and don’t forget to take advantage of the ‘4Friends’ promotion, offering 4 tickets for the price of 3 until 25 November. The Betway Summer Cup is perfect for corporate year-end parties and businesses are encouraged to book their packages soon, before hospitality areas reach capacity.
