In another ground-breaking move, Greyville and Scottsville Racecourse naming-rights holder, Hollywoodbets has launched assigned saddle cloth colours to specific numbers in each of their sponsored races.
On Thursday last week it was announced that South Africa’s premier betting brand, Hollywoodbets had entered into a R10 million three year racecourse naming rights deal with KZN racing operator, Gold Circle.
The brightly-coloured saddle cloths will now make it easier for customers to follow their favourite around the course during the race. Now you can bet on your favourite number or favourite colour – as well as your form choice!
These new saddle cloths will feature in Hollywoodbets sponsored races – Race 1 and Race 12 – at the Vodacom Durban July on Saturday.
This practice is well-known around the world and is featured at all USA-based Triple Crown Racecourses including at Churchill Downs, the home of the Kentucky Derby, the most famous two minutes in sport.

Horse #1 – Red cloth with white number
