Nordhoek Flyer. The Gary PlayerStud stallion wins the 2009 Cape Guineas
It has been announced that stalwart patron of Western Cape racing, Hassen Adams, will be sponsoring the prestigious Gr1 Cape Guineas .
The Cape Guineas has an exceptional roll of honour featuring many South African turf luminaries, and this historic Classic will again be a highlight during the Summer of Champions season. The current vintage of upper echelon three year olds will line up on 21 December at Kenilworth for the 2013 showdown.
Hassen Adams is a prominent businessman, dedicated owner/breeder and staunch racing supporter who has occupied various key roles directing Western Cape racing over the years. He said, ‘I am proud to be associated with the greatest three year old race in South Africa, the Cape Guineas, presented by Grand Parade Investments.”
The Summer course at Kenilworth, with wide sweeping turns and a long stretch run is the perfect layout for fair, high class competition.
The Guineas remains one of the most significant on the racing calendar – cognoscenti accord enduring respect to winners of this great race. Colorado King,

Hawaii, Horse Chestnut and Jay Peg went on after their victories to become International legends, whilst champion sires Jet Master and Captain Al established their racing reputations when winning here.
Adams added. “We aim to make it a special family day at Kenilworth Racecourse.” Burger King South Africa being one of GPI’s Subsidaries intends to reach out to disadvantaged kids and our senior citizens by making it a special day for them. In keeping with this drive, there will be a strong emphasis on charity and acting in the best interest of the community. Coming just a few days before Christmas, the focus will be on making it memorable for attending families, with loads of generously donated gifts. Given the beautiful setting and rejuvenated facilities, it is a day not to be missed by families eager to share in the Festive spirit together.
