No Local Racing On Monday – So Let’s Enjoy Today
With no local races scheduled for Monday, we’ll enjoy what’s served up this afternoon at Hollywoodbets Greyville, where eight races will be held on the grass track.
Don’t forget the free to play Hollywoodbets Punters Challenge and the first starts at 12:30pm.
The revamped free Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge was relaunched on Wednesday with new prize payout formulas.
The popular competition is now also available at all local race events as well as in Hong Kong and Singapore!
In addition to the R5,000 must-win prize awarded to the top 20 players on the leaderboard for each challenge race, the all-or-nothing 100% clean sheet jackpot prize is now determined by the number of entrants Race Meeting multiplied by R10,000 per unit for all venues.
For example, today there are 76 entrants in the Hollywoodbets Greyville program and at R10,000 per entrant the jackpot prize is R760,000.
A new innovation is that all players who bet at least R50 on the programmatically generated bet slip, which is generated after capturing your entries, will have their potential payout doubled! So the jackpot suddenly doubles to R 1 520 000!

The affable Lass from the stable of Lorenzo Karriem takes her place in Race 6.
She has placed second in all three of her careers so far. She ran the longest 1400m draw last time out at Hollywoodbets Scottsville, finishing at the end of the field and finishing strong.
What A Winter’s daughter will be home over the mile. She cracked a good three-point draw and should find herself in the winners’ enclosure.

Trainer Gareth van Zyl saddles Princekresh in Race 5. He has shown some signs of returning to form on his last start over this distance on the polytrack.
The What A Winter son won his only attempt over this course and this distance. He’s on a drop-in course and if he confirms his recent improvement he’s poised to win a race of this nature.
Please note that Kabelo Matsuyane is not driving today.
