The ‘pres’ among the guests at July Handicap

The Durban July run at Greyville Race Course each year is known to attract all kinds of celebrities – and apparently also politicians.

If you just happen to be looking for or wondering where the president is on Saturday afternoon – you’ll find him at Greyville‚ attending what remains one of the biggest events on the country’s social calendar.

According to the Presidency‚ President Jacob Zuma will be at Africa’s greatest and richest horse racing event…. but they’re not letting on which of the 18 contenders he will be betting on.  

If you’re wondering who the favourites are‚ names like Bela-Bela‚ French Navy and Solid Speed are high on the bookies’ lists. However‚ the annual bean predictors are saying things are looking good for Saratoga Dancer and Abashiri‚ but not too good for Rocketball and It’s My Turn.
