Former Cape racecaller Devon Pretorius has slotted in well to the demands of his new position and called the first five races on the Selangor Turf Club card on Sunday.
Having only called his first race at Fairview in 2022, Devon jetted out of Cape Town on 28 July to take up a new position as a Race Commentator with the Selangor Turf Club in Malaysia, a golden chance for the 23 year old.
In another polished performance on Sunday, Devon, who has been behind the mic for a month already, called the first five races, and then presented for the balance of races 6 to 10, tipping 4 winners into the bargain.
The pools grew steadily over the card, and with Singapore racing sadly coming to an end on 5 October, this new platform could provide an appetising alternative.
It was announced last week that Selangor Turf Club racing will be telecasted and offered for totalisator betting in South Africa via 4Racing from Sunday 1 September.
The agreement between 4Racing and the Selangor Turf Club is also entering into new ground whereby racing fans in South Africa can place their bets via commingling.
Commingling of pools is the process where one totalisator organisation combines its wagering pool with another to create one common dividend. With a bigger betting pool, customers can enjoy greater dividend stability and potentially better dividends.
Selangor Turf Club racing has been well-received by International Clubs and Racing Jurisdictions Worldwide.
With the latest inclusion of South Africa, the Club has been successful in simulcasting its races to all parts of the world.
Prior to South Africa, the Club has been sending its racing feed to Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, India, Turkey, United Kingdom, Ireland and North America.
