Kenilworth racing today will see an earlier start than usual and the meeting also wraps up early.
The revised time-table is to accomodate the first four races being included on the PMU (French tote) betting menu.
French tote betting turnovers on South African races are huge and starting and ending the Kenilworth meeting early will earn significant revenue for the horseracing and tote betting operators in this country.
The first race is at 11h15, and is also the Bipot opener.
Racing is on the winter course and the official track condition is ‘soft’, with a pen reading of 30 registered on Friday. A pleasant sunny day is forecast.
The false rail is set at the original position with a 2m spur at the 470m marker.
