Betway Summer Cup Stake Goes To R6 Million

Morning Mr Editor

This is really great news for SA racing.

Question - you say it is now the richest race ! on Met day you guys in the
Republic run that 7.5M race

On that note, the pressure will be on the rich CT boys and sponsors to up
the Met, now on a lowly 2M

This is attractive money to 'stable' the right horse early in Jhb.

With all the doom and gloom, this is Good News.

Only one request for 4Racing - Pls UP the stakes monies in PE (Asseblief)

Hi Arnold
Reader Neill de Bruyn kindly sent this as an alternative for you:

Type "tab4racing" as the search criteria on google or whichever search engine you use.
Open the website.
The betting app itself actually appears on screen, but no need to register or login.
Search for, and tap/click on the menu icon (top right hand corner). Select 'past results' from the dropdown, and when it opens up, select the date, the venue and the program options available.

'Past results' provide the tote dividends, as well as the names of the horses and jockeys of the first 4 places.

The same dropdown also contains 'Full results' which provides the weight, trainer, jockey, distance behind and SP of all the race participants, but not the tote dividends. 'Full results' (as a rule) are only available the next day on the 4racing website, while past results are on race

And there's that small challenge.... called altitude. It's not easy for a sea-level trained horse to beat an altitude trained horse, at altitude. The other way around, its in the altitude horse's favour. Not impossible. But definitely not

Frankie Zackey...Easy Fix...I get their point and I certainly get your point...If a punter enters a racecourse 10 times or more out of season,,they should be given a free membership card allowing them free entry to any big race meeting along with a complimentary Computaform...They should have a punters helpline desk somewhere on-course,,so that every time a punter enters a racecourse beit Vaal or Turffontein their ID Barcode gets scanned...After 10 visits,, BoBs your

Betway Summer Cup Day – Peter Family Issue Statement

I trust the cozy confines of your boardroom are keeping you all well-insulated from the growing storm outside. It must be quite the experience, orchestrating such an elaborate spectacle of silence while the rest of us mere mortals scramble for answers.

I’m writing today with the faint hope that the NHA might finally emerge from its self-imposed hibernation. After all, it’s been quite the year since the Summer Cup Day debacle, and one can’t help but marvel at your unwavering commitment to keeping the public in the dark. Bravo! It takes real talent to sustain this level of secrecy, especially when millions of rand are being gleefully burned in legal fees and board member costs.

Now, let’s talk about the latest stroke of genius. You’ve been sitting in those high-stakes board meetings, shelling out R20,000 per member, just to decide who gets the privilege of sitting on the hearing board. But of course, why stop there? Why not appoint members with glaring conflicts of interest, only to scrap the whole thing and start over? It’s almost as if you’re trying to set a world record for the most costly and pointless postponements. If only Nigel Riley had been consulted about the board composition earlier, you might have saved yourselves—and the punters—an extraordinary amount of money. But why do things the easy way when you can opt for the path of maximum absurdity?

And let’s not forget the pièce de résistance: the ongoing refusal to share... read more

Punters run the game. I think the punters should boycott racing and it's unfairness with regards to these proceedings. By keeping the punters in the dark, you are blatantly saying.... We run the game. Bull****... Let the punters show NHRA who is

Sorry. This may not be the correct platform but I am frustrated as we used to see the names of winning/place jockeys on every race run under results n dividends (race).This was very helpful for punters but I don't see this since last few months. Can anyone guide me where I easily view this now

You always try to come across like some kind of expert - taking horses to Gauteng would be equivalent to the best US, Irish and British horses going to Saudi, Dubai or Hong Kong - the money is great but little prestige - the big owners / breeders dont prioritise prize

Lots of good points and favorable feedback mentioned by the commenters below with regard to the Summer Cup announcement, and I would like to spotlight the following:

- the Summer Cup should now attract a really good field as the stake and the race conditions (handicap) gives every horse a chance (theoretically). The Summer Cup fields have never really been of a good standard, maybe the stake will make the difference!

- the Cape Met will now have to up the R2 Million rand stake if it wants to position itself as the most prestigious middle distance WFA contest in the country. The July and the Summer Cup are miles ahead in stakes!

- there should definitely be a few Cape trainers that could target this race as done so successfully in the past (particularly horses that can't win the King's Plate but have the Met as a target).

- a very good point about sidelining the regular racegoers for the celebrities on the big days! Cape Racing though has looked after the regulars on the big days which is admirable and appreciated. The celebs don't punt and certainly don't come back until the following year! It's fine to invite them as it adds glamor and publicity for the operator and sponsors, but they can easily be accommodated in a hospitality venue away from the punters, we certainly DONOT come to see them, we come to see the horses!

- the operators should reconsider allowing the punters to picnic on the big days, particularly in the Cape Summer.... read more

************************************

My "funny-gut-feel" is that we might have no option but try and get SOMEONE with the means to take on the NHRA, (on our lowly punters behalf), to court, to get a CHANGE OF MANAGEMENT in the "clique of leaders" that are HOLDING US TO RANSOM as to the slapdash running (alleged) of such a prestigious body.

AGAIN... when 10/11 October 2024 comes around, we should NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE between ALLEGED & REAL...

It is eerie to think that there would have been no Siren’s Call, Sound Of Warning, or for that matter Call To Unite, had fate not decreed that Enchanted Cove follow her dam to South Africa, and that Peter de Beyer had the foresight to return Elusive Fort back home from the States as well!
