Power Outages Cause Premature End To Hollywoodbets Durban July Meeting

Only nine races run

In a media release published on Saturday evening, Gold Circle apologised unreservedly for the inconvenience to racing fans, stakeholders and all of their valued sponsors after a jockey protest led to the abandonment of the final three races on the Hollywoodbets Durban July card on Saturday.

The unanticipated implementation of power outages was made contrary to arrangements with the City Of Durban which ultimately led to the jockeys citing unsafe conditions as the reason for their refusal to ride.

Gold Circle advise that this was entirely out of their control and a full investigation has been launched.

The day remains an unqualified success with over 45 000 people in attendance.
