THE GALLOPS
Before making their big-day appearance, the Vodacom Durban July runners and other horses competing in the features on the day, will make a special appearance at Greyville Racecourse on the morning of Thursday, June 26, for the official gallops. It is a condition of acceptance in this fantastic race that they appear for the public gallops which will be timed and televised from 7am followed by a panel discussion.
It is a very popular feature of the July build-up and free coffee and sticky buns are available. A continental breakfast will also be available in the Durban View Room at R35 a head for those wishing to watch the gallops in comfort.
Big-race runners not stabled in Durban at the time will have to gallop at venues in Gauteng or the Western Cape where they can be televised and timed.
