Get set for a Super Saturday
With all the top-class racing action on Saturday, punters are not only in for a Thoroughbred spectacle, they will also have more than one opportunity to strike it rich.
Turffontein hosts the Gauteng Classic Day, where the Grade 2 World Sports Betting SA Classic and Grade 2 Wilgerbosdrift SA Fillies Classic will take centre stage
These two races are the second leg of the WSB SA Triple Crown and the Wilgerbosdrift Triple Tiara respectively, where both Malmoos and War Of Athena will be looking to set themselves up for arguably the biggest racing accolade in the country.
A Pick 6 carryover of R1million will be added to the pool, which is likely to exceed R5 million.
Two other feature races will be contested on the day – the Grade 2 Gorongoza Hawaii Stakes as well as the Listed Aquanaut Handicap.
The final fields for Classic Day will be finalised this afternoon and will be available for closer scrutiny on tabonline.co.za.
