WORKER’S DAY AT

Hollywoodbets Kenilworth

The Hollywoodbets Kenilworth racemeeting scheduled for Sunday 23 April, and then postponed to Monday 24 April before being abandoned, will be run on Worker’s Day, Monday 1 May.

The decision to hold the racemeeting on Monday 1 May was taken so as not to clash head-on with the KZN racemeeting on 30 April, where a number of local riders have already accepted engagements.

There is a Hollywoodbets

Greyville polytrack racemeeting on Monday.

The abandoned Kenilworth programme, headed by the WSB Gr3 Variety Club Mile, includes three important feature races and will be an important prep platform for Cape Winter Season and KZN Champions Season features.

Following approximately 40mm of rain in a 24-hour period, horses were brought to Hollywoodbets Kenilworth to gallop on Sunday morning.

As areas of the track were waterlogged and further rain was forecast, a decision was made to postpone the race meeting scheduled for Sunday to Monday, pending a further track inspection.

Following a further 40mm of rain overnight on Sunday, the total rainfall in the last 7 days was 105mm.

In the interests of safety of horse and rider, a decision was made to cancel the race meeting and re-open entries for the card at the same venue on Monday 1 May.
