Vodacom Durban July at Greyville Race course stirs things up a bit
Vodacom Durban July is the most talked about & attended social gatherings amongst South African horse racing fans.
It is the annual outbreak of "July Fever" which makes its regular appearance in mid-April & grows in intensity as the days pass, becoming a national epidemic & rejecting all known cures but one.
That cure only becomes available, on the afternoon of the first Saturday of July each year, at Greyville Racecourse in Durban when South Africa's best thoroughbreds storm down the home straight to the finish of the R2 million, Grade 1 Vodacom Durban July.
The cure is instantaneous, whether you are among the over 50 000 people who cram the confines of Greyville Racecourse or the millions of others who will watch the annual spectacle on television.
The excitement of Vodacom Durban July Day surpasses that of any other event on the African continent. With 56 000 people expected on course & millions of others around the country taking serious bets or having their annual flutter, the totes & bookmakers will be under tremendous pressure dealing with the estimated R120-million betting splurge.
