BIG TASK FOR JOY AND PEACE
Henk Steenkamp
LOADS OF CHANCES TO WIN ON AFRICA’S BIGGEST BETTING DAY Get set for a sensational weekend headlined by the Hollywoodbets Durban July meeting. This is the event that generates Africa’s biggest betting day annually and there are 12 races carded, plus a R2-million TAB Pick 6 carryover that could boost the pool to a whopping R20 million, a Quartet pool on the flagship race expected to reach R15 million as a result of a R2-million carryover, and a carryover of R500,000 to Jackpot THREE. The racing action will be hard, fast, exciting and into the evening, and you’ll also be able to bet with TAB into the Hong Kong World Pools on the July (Race 7) and Race 8. The weekend action starts at Fairview today when Joy and Peace goes for a four-timer at Fairview and on Sunday Hotatrubi looks a good thing in the Sea Cottage Stakes at Turffontein. It’s a 10-star weekend with loads of opportunities to win big!
