Rainbow Bridge scoops IOS raceday

THE Independent on Saturday Drill Hall Stakes raceday was held at Greyville Racecourse last Sunday and Rainbow Bridge won the pot of gold.

Covid prevented punters from enjoying the fun and activity generated by being at the raceday, which traditionally signals the start of the Champions Season of top-flight horse racing, including the Vodacom Durban July.

“With the virus having pulled the reins on most forms of entertainment, it’s good to know that horseracing, at least, is still going at full tilt,” said editor Zoubair Ayoob. “Even if we can’t enjoy the wonderful Greyville course and facilities, and Gold Circle’s hospitality, we can still have fun and cheer on our favourites from our homes.”
