SA RACING FACT BOOK 2009/2010 3
Welcome to the 2010 South African Racing Fact Book, the third edition of this publication which is
produced as an annual reference guide to the South African thoroughbred racing industry.
For the second successive season our industry along with most other racing jurisdictions around the globe
has faced extremely challenging times as the world economy struggles to emerge from recession.
Despite a year-on-year fall in totalisator revenues of some 4%, stakes were maintained at previous levels
whilst in the auction rings the gross sales of those yearlings, ready to run and 2yo graduates, all posted
increases over those of the previous year.
Another challenge that faced the industry in 2010 was South Africa’s hosting of the FIFA World Cup where
as a result of timing and FIFA regulations it became clear very early on in the season that there needed
to be changes to the programming for the KZN Champions Season. This break in tradition, which saw a
number of major races reprogrammed, was completed with virtually no disruption thanks to the unselfish
cooperation of the owners, trainers and sponsors. The Champions Season was an outstanding success,
as was the FIFA World Cup which provided an excellent opportunity to showcase our beautiful country
to the world.
The 2010 Season produced some excellent racing and the crop of three year olds is regarded as being
one of the strongest for some time. Top rated three year old was Bold Silvano who was joint Champion
racehorse on a rating of 120 alongside the five year old, JJ The Jet Plane.
In compiling this year’s statistics there are two achievements that need to be singled out. Firstly that of the
country’s Champion Breeder Summerhill Stud who under the guidance of its charismatic owner Mickey
Goss earned a staggering R18.5 million in stakes which was R10.0 million more than their nearest rival.
The second achievement that warrants mention is that of Champion Trainer Mike de Kock who not only
earned in excess of R22.0 million in stakes locally but in the process won no less than 10 Grade 1 and
11 Grade 2 Races, a highly commendable performance given the fact that there were only 33 Grade 1
and 32 Grade 2 races on offer.
Internationally our horses, trainers and jockeys continue to gain in reputation and during the season
South Africa’s most travelled thoroughbred, Lizard’s Desire, gained his international Group 1 success in
the Singapore Airlines International Cup run over 2000m at Kranji in Singapore. In doing so the De Kock/
Shea team gained revenge over Gloria De Campeao for their earlier defeat in the world’s richest race the
Dubai World Cup.
Compiling this publication depends on the input and cooperation of a range of people and organisations
and I thank them for their willing assistance.
I trust you will enjoy the content.

effectively, safely and with care in the stable yards where they
are employed. All courses boast an incentive scheme for both
groom and trainer.
Harness Racing Association of South Africa (HRSA)The Harness Racing Association of South Africa (HRSA) was
established in 2004 in an effort to complement the current thor-
oughbred status quo, and provide a means to transformation

equine racing. HRSA is the governing body for harness racing
in South Africa and the neighbouring countries, and a full mem-
ber of the International Trotting Association. HRSA also carries

ing includes not only the driven “sulky” version, but the ridden
“monte” version as well.

only facility in South Africa that can accommodate international
competition horses.

Gambling Act 2004 which makes provision for the oversight of
matters relating to casinos, gambling, betting and wagering and
promotes uniform norms and standards in relation to gambling
throughout South Africa.

fare organisations such as local SPCAs.

Clairwood Racecourse
Clairwood Racecourse is built on land that was originally a
swamp and was opened on Tuesday, May 24, 1921. Known
as the “Garden Course”, Clairwood is situated approximately 10
km from the Durban city centre and 45 km from King Shaka
International airport. The left-handed oval track is a flat 2500
metres in circumference with one of the easiest turns in the
country. The run-in to the winning post is 600 metres. There is
also a 1 200 metre straight, meeting the bend at the 600 metre
mark. Wide draws are of little consequence except in races over
1450 m, with a short run-in to the home turn, and races over
2400 m where the runners jump straight into the first bend.

Greyville Racecourse
The Greyville Racecourse surrounds the Royal Durban Golf
Club’s Championship course and is situated in the heart of
Durban. In 1996 it became the first track in the country to install
floodlights, enabling the course to stage night racing. The track
is an undulating 2 800 metre pear-shape. There is a downhill
slope from the 2 600 metre mark then uphill from the 2 400
metre mark to the 1 800 metres. Thereafter a gentle downward
slope for about 800 metres is followed by a testing uphill section
from the 800 metre mark into a 500 metre home straight which
is slightly uphill. Wide draws are a factor in races over 1 400m
to 1 600 m where the start is situated on the turn.

is a right-handed oval and approximately 2 300 metres in cir-
cumference with a banked home turn into a divided 550 metre
straight. A portable rail, similar to railway points system, is used
to guide the horses into the inside or outside straights, both of
which rise steeply up to the winning post.
Scottsville also has a tricky 1 200 metre straight course which
is downhill from the start before rising steeply from the junction
to the finish.
Because of the cambered home turn, wide draws appear to be
of little consequence.
Scottsville is also a “Racino” course with the Golden Horse Ca-
sino and hotel conveniently “attached” to the back of the grand-
stand allowing both racing and casino patrons easy access to
both facilities.

Kenilworth Racecourse
Durbanville Racecourse
Kenilworth is a left-handed track and is unique amongst
South African racecourses in that it consists of three sepa-
rate tracks.
There is a new track with a circumference of 2800m and a
run-in of about 600m which is used primarily in summer, and
an old track with a circumference of 2700m and a run-in of
about 450m which is normally used for winter racing. There is
also a separate 1200m straight course which bisects the infield
at a diagonal, the three courses only coming together in the
pull-up area. The new course particularly is one of the fairest
in South Africa and gives every horse a winning chance, but
ability to race handy is of greater importance on the old course.
The 1200m straight is the stiffest in the country. A climb for the
first 200m and another rise over the final 200m make this a
real test of ability to stay1200m and horses who go fast early on
almost invariably get caught wanting at the finish. Horses who
seem best over middle distances often do well in 1200m races
at Kenilworth, especially when the winter going is soft or heavy.
Low number draws are generally favoured in sprints, but fields
tend to split into two distinct groups when the going is heavy and
outside barriers then enjoy a slight advantage. Draws are of little
importance around the turn,especially on the new course.

A left-handed course with a circumference of about 2200m,
Durbanville has a run-in of about 600m and no straight
course.
Durbanville’s excellent drainage makes it an ideal winter racing
venue and that is when almost all meetings there take place.
With the home straight on a downward slope until just before the
finish and ability to at least race handy is important over almost
any distance, but the tracks reputation in this regard can also
lead to pacemakers going much too fast early on. Horses who
race from off the pace need a good turn of acceleration to give
of their best at this course. Low number draws are a marked
advantage over almost any distance and Durbanville has a ten-
dency to produce course specialists.

Vaal Racecourse (Sand)
Vaal Racecourse (Grass)
Turffontein Racecourse
Turffontein is the Phumelela flagship course and consists
of the old “Standside” track and a new inside track. The
Standside course is a right-handed track with a circumference
of approximately 2700m, with a 1200m straight course join-
ing the round course at about the 800m mark. The Standside
course is widely considered one of SA’s stiffest tracks because
of a steady climb from about the 1200m to the final turn. The
straight course is flat, and the Turffontein 1200m is probably
one of the most undemanding in SA. The draw appears to be
of little significance in sprints, but low barriers are favoured in
races run over 1400m and 1600m.
The new inside track shares a common back straight with the
Standside Track. All races run clockwise round a tight turn with
a run-in of slightly less than 500m. The track rises 10m from
the 1400m to the 500m marks. Low-number draws favoured
over 1000m and 1200m. Floodlights were installed in 2009 and
nightracing was launced in November.
A right-handed course with a circumference of about 2900m,
the Vaal consists of two 1000m straights connected by fair-
ly sharp bends. The run-in of 1000m is the longest in the coun-
try, and the Vaal also has South Africa’s only 1600m straight
course that has been divided into two tracks. All races of up to a
mile are run down the straight. Generally, outside draws hold an
advantage on the straight course, especially when the going is
soft, but in the winter months the two extremes appear equally
favourable and fields tend to split into two distinct groups on
either side of the course. Draws are of little significance in races
run around the turn.
A right-handed course with a 1000m straight course, with the
1000m start taking place at the top of the straight. Races
over 1200m start in the middle of the bend, those over 1400m
right at the entrance of the bend. Starting stalls for races over
1400m are positioned at an angle, to compensate for wide
draws. The sand track appears to put a premium on stamina.
The sand track at the Vaal was inaugurated in August 2001.

Fairview Racecourse
Arlington Racecourse
A right-handed course with a circumference of approximately
2700m and a run-in of 800m, Fairview has a straight course
of 1200m which joins the round course at the 800m mark.
The straight course (and therefore the run-in) is mostly down-
hill, which means that most races are run at a good pace. High
number draws hold a marked advantage in races run over the
straight course, but barriers seem of little significance in races
around the turn. Fairview tends to be a slow-draining course
and the going frequently remains soft or heavy for some time
after a wet spell.

There is a 1000m straight course which joins the round course
at about the 600m mark. The sharp uneven nature of the course
has made Arlington notorius as a fast track. The 1000m straight
course is mostly downhill. Barrier draws are of little importance
over most distances as there is a 400m stretch to the first turn
even when racing over 1400m. Races between 1800m and
2000m start from a chute extending from the back straight. Ar-
lington enjoys excellent drainage and the going is good to firm
almost all year round.

TRAINING CENTRES
The training of racehorses in South Africa is largely cen-
tralised into training centres controlled by the two racing
operators, Gold Circle and Phumelela. There are, however, a
number of successful private setups around the country.
In KwaZulu-Natal, operated by Gold Circle, the main training
centre is at Summerveld about 36km from central Durban
at Shongweni and some 600 m above sea level. Over 1 100
horses are stabled here.
Ashburton Training Centre was established in 1984 and the
complex is situated 12 km outside the KZN capital Pieterma-
ritzburg where nearly 500 horses are stabled.
Clairwood Racecourse in Durban is also used as a training
centre and has a small resident population of horses whose
numbers swell during the important winter racing season
when visiting horses are stabled there.
In the Western Cape, also controlled by Gold Circle, the main
training centre is situated on part of the old Milnerton Race-
course on the West Coast where more than 1 000 horses
are stabled.
Phillipi, which houses about 300 horses, is situated on the
Cape Flats on the False Bay side of Table Mountain. Both
centres boast access to the cold waters of the Atlantic
Ocean.
In the regions controlled by Phumelela, the main training
facilities on the Highveld are at Randtjiesfontein in Midrand
near Johannesburg, where the majority of the Gauteng-
based trainers and horses are situated, and at The Vaal
Racecourse in the Free State.
There is also a smaller training community situated at Turf-
fontein Racecourse in the centre of Johannesburg which
also houses the Phumelela headquarters.
In the Eastern Cape, also controlled by Phumelela, the main
training facilities are situated at Arlington Racecourse.
