Hollywoodbets hosted the East Coast Radio team at Hollywoodbets Greyville last Wednesday.
The ECR team were treated to lunch in the Durban View Room, followed by a full track experience, courtesy of Gold Circle.
This included meeting jockeys and trainers in the parade ring, watching the beginning of a race from the starting gates, and experiencing the intricacies of a race evaluation and analysis in the Stipendiary Stewards room.

East Coast Breakfast host Darren Maule was brought into the GTV studio prior to race 4 for an interview with host Warren Lenferna.
Being a stand-up comedian by trade, he provided a lighter side of his first experience at a proper race meeting, and then followed this by tipping 20/1 winner Je Ne Sais Quoi from the Glen Kotzen stable.
The East Coast Radio team also got involved in the Grooms’ Initiative campaign, where they handed out the R1000 tokens to the winning grooms from Race 2 to Race 7.

The hosting of the local radio station is another step in bringing the KZN Community together, where Hollywoodbets are introducing various stakeholders to each other, and getting them to experience wonderful events that happen on a weekly basis in the holiday province.
Besides partnering with Gold Circle in a groundbreaking three year naming rights sponsorship deal for the province’s two racecourses, Hollywoodbets are also sponsors of the Hollywoodbets Dolphins, and are associate sponsors of the Cell C Sharks.
