Cape Town’s greatest race, the R3 million Sun Met, will be run at Kenilworth today and it packs all the ingredients horseracing fans dream about.
Equine champions are few and far between anywhere, but South African racing is blessed with four of them right now and they’re all in the line-up for this 2 000m contest – five-year-olds Do It Again and Rainbow Bridge and year-younger warriors Vardy and Hawwaam.
Tote betting operator TAB has turned up the excitement of the day to maximum volume with two mega carryovers. But fast-finishing runner-up Do It Again was too far behind that day and turned the tables on Rainbow Bridge in the Durban July five months later. But now Vardy must travel 400m further for the first time and you can draw a line through Do It Again and Hawwaam’s Queen’s Plate runs.
