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.

tential cure for the disease. Since the 2006 AHS season the

Trust has managed a surveillance system in parallel with the SA

Veterinary Services system. Increasing awareness of the disease

better decisions could be taken by both industry and the State

Vet. Additionally, strategic AHS vaccination campaigns have

been facilitated by the Trust in order to raise levels of immunity

among indigent communities.

Equestrian Academy banner. There are currently four grooms’

schools in operation, two in the Western Province and two in

KwaZulu-Natal. The purpose of the school is to offer courses

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

in the horseracing and stud breeding sectors. The code caters

to amateur participation and is a less expensive platform for

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

full responsibility for keeping the Standardbred Stud Book, and

allied registers.

ing includes not only the driven “sulky” version, but the ridden

“monte” version as well.

ing maintenance of the South African Export Protocol and the

development of a sustainable delivery system for the movement

of horses in and out of South Africa.

Kenilworth Quarantine StationIn 1997, a high-tech vector protected quarantine station was

port of “London News” who won the coveted QE II Cup in Hong

Kong. An additional 32 stables have been added and more than

200 horses have since been exported. The facility has access

to a 1400m sand track, a lunge ring, a horse walker and kilo-

metres of bridle ways within Kenilworth racetrack, making it the

only facility in South Africa that can accommodate international

competition horses.

National Gambling BoardThe National Gambling Board operates under the National

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.

National Horseracing Authority of Southern Africa (NHA)Formerly “The Jockey Club of Southern Africa” the NHA’s core

other equine sports as well as feed and residue analysis for meat

exportation from South Africa.

National Horse TrustIn 1989 the South African horseracing industry, through the then

Association of Racing Clubs of Southern Africa (ARCSA), started

established four Horse Care Units which are situated throughout

SA and located where possible on the premises of existing wel-

fare organisations such as local SPCAs.

National Racing BureauIn 2005 South Africa’s two racing operators, Gold Circle and

Phumelela, established a central office to handle entries, decla-

rations and card changes for all race meetings throughout South

Africa in an industry bid to streamline the administration of

the sport. The Bureau has a highly sophisticated telephone call

centre and computer system and offers all role players a more

efficient system.

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.

Scottsville Racecourse

Scottsville Racecourse is situated about 2,5km from the Pi-

etermaritzburg City Hall and 85 km from Durban. The track

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

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.

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

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.
