Cooler weather with a 62% chance of rain is expected to greet the more than 10 000 racegoers that will enjoy the 161st renewal of the WSB Gr1 Cape Town Met at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday.
After days of searing heat and plenty of big-race build-up events that included the lively and well-patronised World Sports Betting and Hollywoodbet WSB panel discussions, Saturday is set to dawn considerably cooler in the Mother City.
A south easterly wind, gusting up to 76km/h is anticipated. This could 0amount to a headwind for the WSB Met field as they take the 600m stampede for the winning post on the Hollywoodbets Kenilworth home-straight.
