Don’t miss Betway Summer Cup 2024

Mark your calendars for a racing, style, and entertainment experience.

The Betway Summer Cup 2024 – a premier event hosted by 4Racing and Betway – is scheduled for November 30, at the Turffontein Racecourse.

This year’s event promises to be a dazzling celebration of racing, fashion and entertainment. The Betway Summer Cup, known affectionately as ‘The People’s Race,’ is now also ‘Africa’s Richest Race’ with an extraordinary R6m prize fund up for grabs.

Turffontein Racecourse is anticipated to draw interest from owners and trainers from around the country, as well as punters and curious visitors eager to try their luck. Following the momentum of an initiative introduced in 2023, a cash award of R20 000 will be given to each groom for the main race in the Betway Summer Cup 2024.

Jonathan Blumberg, Betway Africa, commented: “We at Betway are committed to delivering an exceptional racing experience in partnership with 4Racing. Horseracing continues to be a key area of growth for us and we are incredibly proud to be part of the Betway Summer Cup, Gauteng’s most anticipated horseracing event and now the richest group race in Africa.”

This year’s theme ‘Silks in the City,’ brings a sophisticated fashion and racing twist to the event, playing on the lively and colourful jockey silks to inspire chic fashion and dynamic experiences throughout the day.

The 2024 theme design cleverly uses the colours of the last five Summer Cup winners to spell out the word ‘SILKS’ – whilst also paying homage to the iconic Brixton Tower.

Fashion aficionados are set to showcase their finest interpretations of this dynamic theme on the Betway Summer Cup Black Carpet, adding an extra layer of glamour to the event.
