Saturday brings the curtain down on another successful Champions Season with the running of the Marshalls World of Sport Gold Cup race meeting at Hollywoodbets Greyville that will feature 4 Grade 1 races in addition to the MWOS Gold Cup.
The horseracing industry is set for another massive boost as this race meeting is further elevated by the fact that it has been classified as a World Pool event by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, which boasts the largest Tote pools internationally. World Pool will inject millions into the pools of the Win, Place, Swinger and Quinella (boxed Exacta) from races 2-10 as these bet types are commingled into the Hong Kong pools.

In addition to this, South African punters will also enjoy a R500 000 carryover in the Mercury Sprint (Race 6) Quartet which is expected to reach R3 Million. The Pick 6 will have the biggest boost with a massive R2 Million injection that will likely see this pool reach R12 Million.
For those that cannot attend the final major race meeting of the season, all the action will be broadcast on Gallop TV and streamed live on www.galloptv.co.za and via Gold Circle’s YouTube channel.
Alternatively the race meeting will also be broadcast on DSTV channel 240 and SABC 3 will cross live to Hollywoodbets Greyville from 15h45 for the MWOS Gold Cup and the HKJC World Pool Champions Cup where Jet Dark, Kommetdieding, Linebacker and Al Muthana will not only be fighting out the final Grade 1 race of the season, but also looking to stake a claim for the coveted EQUUS Champion Horse of the Year title.
