The three finals of the KZN Winter Challenge will be run at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on Saturday as support features to the Track & Ball Derby and Track & Ball Oaks.
The finals – over 1200m, 1600m and 1950m – are the culmination of a series that gives the average handicapper a chance to compete for a present-day above average stake of R75 000 per event.
Trainers get the chance to earn an incentive bonus, on condition that their horses are pre-entered.
The first cheque is R28 500, the runner-up is R14 000 and the third place finisher gets R7 500
