Bet on the South African Derby and Summer Cup
Turffontein can lay claim to being the most prominent South African racecourse and there are some high-profile races that take place on the South African horse racing calendar. This includes the South African Derby, with this Group 1 race available for three-year-old thoroughbred horses.
Turffontein Racecourse is located in Johannesburg, with the race itself having been founded in 1907 and the distance of the race is 2450 metres, with three-year-old runners having been competing in this encounter for over a century.
Samurai Warrior, Out Of Your League and Malmoos are among the recent winners of the South African Derby and there is always the chance to enjoy a wide range of betting options.
The Summer Cup takes place every November and this is another big betting race which is a true test of stamina. There is a climb from the 1200 metre mark and takes runners up the hill, often leading to an exciting finish.
