In case you'd like to have a punt on Christmas Day
Christmas Day is the only day of the year in South Africa where no local racing is scheduled.
Hollywoodbets have confirmed that their website and mobile will have racing available on Christmas Day, for those who don’t miss a beat.
There are two race meetings from France – Pau and Vincennes – starting at 14h30 – with the last race at 18h55.
All Hollywood branches will be closed on Christmas Day.
