Saftote have confirmed that they will be looking into a ‘strange’ Kenilworth dividend from Saturday afternoon’s meeting.
The Sporting Post was contacted by punters after a surprise result to the sixth race delivered a seemingly low quartet dividend, which also appeared out of sync with the trifecta dividend.
With the top swinger paying R53 and the trifecta delivering R3598, it was odd to see the quartet pay ‘just’ R5801-90, particularly with the unfancied Magical Bet, running into fourth.
‘They have left a zero off the end of the payout amount’, suggested one punter.
Phumelela’s Sports Betting Executive Vee Moodley confirmed shortly after our enquiry that the matter will be looked into.
