No horsing around at Sprint Race
The Golden Horse Sprint Race takes place on May 24 this year.
Horseracing enthusiasts, fashionistas and socialites should brace themselves for exhilarating racing and pulse-pounding entertainment at the Golden Horse Sprint Race Day on May 24.
With the date set, Tsogo Sun’s Golden Horse Casino is gearing up to make the Run Wild-themed day the biggest and most exciting in the event’s 13-year history.
The Golden Horse Sprint Race Day is also the country’s oldest, largest and richest sprint race, with stake money of more than R2-million and some of the fastest sprinters competing.
Maureen Kivits, Director of Operations and Complex General Manager at Golden Horse Casino, Hotel and Entertainment, said prizes will be bigger than they have ever been.
“R1,3-million is to be awarded in the two main sprints. Entertainment on the day will be sizzling and once again, dramatic fashion shows will be a highlight.”
“Keep your eyes peeled and your ears pricked for more exciting announcements about the 2014 Golden Horse Sprint Race Day as we count down to the spectacular event. Prepare to Run Wild!”
In conjunction with Gold Circle Racing and Golden Horse Casino – the only casino in South Africa adjoined to a racecourse – annually stages the Sprint Race Day, which attracts more than
15 000 people to Pietermaritzburg.
In addition to being the largest sprint race event in South Africa, it is the only one to feature four Grade One sprint races.
The stakes are always high in the two main sprint races; the Golden Horse Sprint, which this year carries a first prize bounty of R750 000, and the Tsogo Sun Medallion Race, which offers a prize of R600 000.
While the races and fashion shows unfold, in the VIP suites guests are given the royal treatment in the Marquee Village, where they also have exclusive access to fashion icons, musical artists and other celebrities.
Don’t miss all the entertainment on offer at the Sprint this year.
