OFF THE RECORD #106

Legends of the Cape Town Met: Stories Through the Ages A race that has been run for 164 years is bound to become more than just a list of winners. The Cape Metropolitan Stakes, now known as the Grade 1 World Sports Betting Cape Town Met, has lived through different eras, adapted as the sport has changed, and along the way has gathered a treasure trove of stories that go far beyond what’s written in the record books. Some of those stories are well known and often retold. Others survive only in memory – in the recollections of people who were there, or in the kind of anecdotes that get passed around racing circles over time. Over the years, a few of these have been quietly collected and held onto. With the 165th renewal of the great race just around the corner, this is a chance to dust them off and revisit some of those moments – stories of Met legends from across the ages.
