The first set of entries for the 2024 Durban July were unveiled on Wednesday with 2023 runner-up See It Again the early favourite.
Last year’s runner-up races to the top of bookmakers’ betting boards.Big-striding chestnut colt See It Again galloped clear of his rivals at the top of thebetting when first entries for Africa’s greatest race were announced on Wednesday.
Michael Roberts-trained See It Again has been up with the punting pace ever since Hollywoodbets opened their July book in early February. But other contenders barreled their way up to the bar as the weeks went by. Notable among these was Mucho Dinero, with talk among punters being that he was champion trainer Justin Snaith’s prime candidate.
Tarry’s Highveld neighbour Mike de Kock, bidding for a sixth July, entered seven horses including three-year-old wonder filly Gimme A Nother, who is unbeaten in seven starts. It can only be concerns about her tender age and gender – and a lack of exposure to male competition – that keep this one at an inviting 7-1 in the betting., with a cracking second place in the recent Champions Challenge in Joburg seeing his price chopped to 10-1.
