Gold Circle to host trial run of Super Six Racing

GOLD CIRCLE has agreed to host a trial of a proposed new racing concept call Super Six.

Gold Circle was approached by a UK-based company to trial the concept but it will in no way affect the Hollywoodbets Greyville meeting scheduled for Wednesday, September 16, other than in six races, riders will be wearing designated colours and not the silks of the registered owners.

Other than the colour changes – where affected owners will be financially compensated - the meeting will be as normal and called by the local commentator on duty.

The aim of the exercise is to ‘test-drive’ the new concept ultimately aimed at the emerging Chinese thoroughbred racing industry where gambling is prohibited.

The Super Six product is aimed at taking the sport of horse racing to consumers as a non-gambling proposition. Super Six Racing is in negotiation with distributors to put our programme in front of a global audience, particularly into territories where gambling is currently prohibited, in particular mainland China.

The purpose of the trial is to produce a high-quality broadcast package of some 40-minute duration which will be used to showcase the Super Six horse racing product to potential sponsors and partners.
