An all-action weekend
EXCITING: WORLD’S RICHEST RACE ON TURF AND ASCOT AMONG THE FEATURES
Local racing will be at Turffontein, Durbanville and Greyville; with Mauritius and Borrowdale.
TAB and Betting World will keep punters very busy this weekend with some of the most exciting racing from around the world being broadcast live on the various Tellytrack channels.
Tomorrow’s action starts at 03:30 with the Everest meeting being held at Randwick Racecourse in Sydney, Australia.
The Everest, Race 7 and the main event on the card, is scheduled to be run at 07:15. It is the world’s richest race on turf with the top sprinters competing for $14 million (R140 million) in stakes in this 1200m sprint.
The TAB Quartet pool kicks off with R50,000, so punters should not be caught napping.
Now in its third year, The Everest is the highlight of the Sydney spring carnival.
Exactly an hour later, the 2019 Caulfield Cup is scheduled to be run in Melbourne.
With 18 gallopers set to face the starter in Saturday's $5 million (R50 million) staying feature over 2400m, this race is considered to be an open affair.
Saturday is also the ninth Qipco British Champions Day and it is expected to be the most valuable day’s racing in Britain in terms of betting as the leading horses, jockeys, trainers and owners from Europe and beyond descend on Ascot for a glorious finale to the 2019 Flat season
This is one of the most prestigious events in the British sporting calendar, and punters are expected to throw money at anything and everything ridden by Frankie Dettori.
The six races on the card offer total stakes of £4.2m (R80 million). And the first five races are end-of-season championships across various distances.
Three of the Ascot races form part of Saturday’s TAB Blitz Meeting and with a carryover of R100,000, the TAB Blitz Pick 6 will most definitely give punters a welcome bonus payment.
Locally, there’s racing at Turffontein and Durbanville on Saturday as well as an eight-race meeting in Mauritius.
Sunday sees local racing at Greyville and Borrowdale, but all eyes will be on the action from Hong Kong, where last season’s SA Champion Jockey Lyle Hewitson will be aboard Singapore Sling in the Group 2 Oriental Watch Sha Tin Trophy Handicap over 1600m.
They will be up against Beauty Generation, who is ranked fourth on the Longines World's Best Racehorse Rankings for threeyear-olds and upwards with a rating of 127.
TAB and Betting World will offer a full bouquet of bets on these race meetings.
