Tote betting has opened countrywide for Saturday’s Hollywoodbets Durban July spectacular at the Theatre Of Champions.
A twelve-race programme is offered on South Africa’s premier raceday and players will have plenty to get excited about with a R2 million Pick 6 carryover set to boost the popular exotic to R20 million.
The Hollywoodbets Durban July quartet pool gets a R1 million kick-start, which should see the pool reaching R10 million.
There are three jackpots on the card, and third of these starts in the ninth race, with a R500 000 carryover and a projected R2 million to play for.
The official Hollywoodbets Durban July panel discussion will be broadcast on SuperSport Variety SuperSport channel 207 (Variety 2) at 18h00 on Wednesday 28 June.
It will also be aired on the Hollywoodbets and Gold Circle Youtube and Facebook at the same time.
Also, watch it on GallopTV and DStv CatchUp.
The expert panel includes five-time Hollywoodbets Durban July winning trainer Justin Snaith, four-time Hollywoodbets Durban July champion conditioner Mike de Kock, South African Champion jockey-elect Keagan de Melo, and rising star of the jockey ranks, Athandiwe Mgudlwa, as well as former jockey Anthony Delpech, who rode four Durban July winners.
The free-to-play Hollywoodbets Punters Challenge offers massive prizes on the big day, topped by R20 million to be shared by those who pick all 12 winners on the day.
There will be a guaranteed R1 million to be shared by the top 100 players on the leaderboard, with R200 000 to the winner. For those players who tip the most winners on the day, there is R500 000 on offer. All of the above amounts are subject to the player having a minimum R100 bet on the Punters Challenge betslip – otherwise prize money is halved.
