It was recently announced that the Super Six Series that ran last year, is now back as Global Team Horse Racing (GTH), only this time it will be bigger and better than before!
- WHEN is this happening?
The worldwide premier of the GTH series will take place in Durban South Africa in August and September 2022.
Backed by the UK’s Super Six Racing Limited, GTH will add four more races to the Gold Circle 2022 calendar and add R3,5mn in additional stakes
Since the partnership between GTH and Gold Circle, who manage the Hollywoodbets Greyville racecourse, has been established, Gold Circle has added four night meetings to the official racing calendar as follows:
5 August 2022
12 August 2022
19 August 2022
2 September 2022
- WHO is behind it all?
GTH Racing is backed by Super Six Racing Limited, a UK-registered business, who are comprised of a handful of ardent racing supporters, who have long believed that horse racing needs rejuvenation.
Over the years, they have tested and trialled innovative approaches with a view to broadening the appeal of horse racing to meet the action seeking expectations of new audiences, something that fits into the audiences’ time constraints and matches reduced attention spans.
The South African component of GTH racing is led by Angus Campbell, who with his team, has done exhaustive research and spent considerable time putting the local program together.
- HOW is it financed?
The seed funding that was sourced in 2020 was used to extensively trial the new team-based racing format throughout 2021. After refining the experience, which was done by hosting multiple live trial rehearsals, a final full-scale trial was held at Hollywoodbets Greyville in November 2021.
The live trial event last year in November at the Hollywoodbets Greyville Racecourse was a success, drawing in the crowds and securing the next round of funding
The innovative approach of this form of racing and its appeal to newcomers to the racing world resulted in a successful event and secured the next round of funding required to stage a full event series in South Africa.
“We are about to experience the culmination of years of planning and trials come to fruition,” says Angus Campbell.
“The opportunity to introduce the grand sport of horse racing to a broader audience in a condensed team format, is something that we have dreamed of for a long time.”
