In the face of the ominous forecast of more rain on Saturday, it will be third time lucky for Phumelela and the Grand Heritage sponsors if the Turffontein meeting goes ahead.
The drawn out Grand Heritage saga of 2018 is now well documented and every effort has been made to get the optimum out of the twelve race programme.
A deviation from the standard format means the meeting commences with smaller fields to be easier on the track and the Summer Cup build-up and prep race is the third.
The three non black-type features will be completed much earlier than the norm – by 14h15.
The Bipot starts in the second at 12h00 and there is a second Jackpot commencing in the ninth race at 16h05 for those keen to have a second shot at an exotic bet.
