2 SA RACING FACTBOOK 2008/2009


Welcome NoteWelcome to the 2009 edition of the South

African Racing Fact Book.

The horseracing industry has, along with al-

most every other sector of the South African

economy, felt the effects of the global economic

meltdown that began at the onset of the racing

season under review and whilst we in South Af-

rica have not been as badly affected as some

racing jurisdictions we have nevertheless felt

the impact of this throughout every sector of the industry.

In the auction ring a decade of ever increasing sale prices came to an end as

our Premier Sale recorded a downturn of 24% with other sales recording drops

of between 9-41%. The only sales to perform well were those that were held

at the beginning of the 2008/9 racing year which was immediately prior to the

start of the recession.

Totalisator turnovers were marginally down on the previous year but the lack

of growth has meant that, with the exception of our graded and listed race

programme, stakes have not managed to keep pace with ever rising costs

and this is a major source of concern for the industry which has had to tighten

its belt and become more innovative in an effort to attract a greater share of

the gambling rand.

On a positive note, it has brought the two Racing Operators together in a na-

tional effort to rationalise certain areas of our business which will produce cost

savings and generate additional revenues both of which will have ongoing

benefits for all stakeholders.

Internationally, South Africa can truly be regarded as a global player as our

horses, trainers and jockeys continue to fly the South African flag with increas-

ing success. Indeed it is rare not to find a South African presence at any of the

numerous International Racing carnivals, a statement borne out in the 2009

Melbourne Cup where Mourilyan ran an outstanding race to finish third in the

race “that stops a nation”. Trained by Herman Brown and ridden by former

South African-based jockey Glynn Schofield, it is ongoing proof of the talent

that South Africa produces in all sectors of the industry we are all passionate

about.

I trust that you will find the information contained in this publication to be both

interesting and informative and once again my thanks to all those who have

assisted with the process.

potential cure for the disease. Since the 2006 AHS season the

Trust has managed a surveillance system in parallel with the

SA Veterinary Services system. Increasing awareness of the

levels of immunity among indigent communities.

Equestrian Academy banner. There are currently four grooms’

schools in operation, two in the Western Province and two in

KwaZulu-Natal. The purpose of the school is to offer courses

where grooms are educated to a level that enables them to

work effectively, safely and with care in the stable yards where

they are employed. All courses boast an incentive scheme for

both groom and trainer.

HARNESS RACING ASSOCIATION OF SOUTH AFRICA (HRSA)

The Harness Racing Association of South Africa (HRSA) was

established in 2004 in an effort to compliment the current thor-

oughbred status quo, and provide a less expensive alternative

platform for equine racing. HRSA is the governing body for

Harness Racing in South Africa and the neighbouring coun-

tries, and is a full member of the International Trotting Asso-

ciation. HRSA also carries full responsibility for keeping of the

Standardbred Stud Book, and allied registers.

ing includes not only the driven “sulky” version, but a ridden

“monte” version.

Import Export Working GroupThe Import Export Working Group was formed in response to

the de-registration of the SA Horse Import & Export Council. As

a private-public partnership, it is responsible for the ongoing

maintenance of the South African Export Protocol and the de-

velopment of a sustainable delivery system for the movement

of horses in and out of South Africa.

Kenilworth Quarantine StationIn 1997, a high-tech vector protected quarantine station was

built at Kenilworth Racecourse in Cape Town to facilitate the

export of “London News” who won the coveted QE II Cup in

Hong Kong. An additional 32 stables have been added and

more than 200 horses have since been exported. The facil-

ity has access to a 1400m sand track, a lunge ring, a horse

walker and kilometres of bridle ways within Kenilworth Race-

track, making it the only facility in South Africa that can accom-

modate international competition horses.

National Gambling BoardThe National Gambling Board operates under the National

Gambling Act 2004 which makes provision for the oversight

of matters relating to casinos, gambling, betting and wager-

ing and promotes uniform norms and standards in relation to

gambling throughout South Africa.

National Horseracing Authority of Southern Africa (NHA)Formerly “The Jockey Club of Southern Africa” the NHA’s core

function of its Racing Division is to ensure that thoroughbred

racing is provided with a competent and efficient racehorse

and jockey control and monitoring service to “maintain the in-

tegrity of horseracing”. The Studbook Department is a division

of the NHA that manages and regulates all processes relating

to the incorporation of horses into the thoroughbred population

in South Africa. The NHA has operated its own laboratory since

1985 and currently tests both horse and jockey specimens. A

total of 89 000 specimens have been analysed since it com-

menced operations. The laboratory also carries out contract

analysis for other equine sports as well as feed and residue

analysis for meat exportation from South Africa.

National Horse TrustIn 1989 the South African horseracing industry, through the

then Association of Racing Clubs of Southern Africa (ARCSA),

started the National Horse Trust and developed a programme

unique to South Africa to try to reduce potential neglect and de-

terioration of thoroughbreds after their racing careers. The Trust

to date has established four Horse Care Units which are situat-

ed throughout SA and located where possible on the premises

of existing welfare organisations such as local SPCAs.

National Racing BureauIn 2005 South Africa’s two racing operators, Gold Circle and

Phumelela, established a central office to handle entries, dec-

larations and card changes for all race meetings throughout

South Africa in an industry bid to streamline the administration

of the sport. The Bureau has a highly sophisticated telephone

call centre and computer system and offers all role players a

more efficient system.

excellence, strives to be globally competitive, regionally pre-

eminent and locally relevant while providing an effective veteri-

nary interface to Africa.

racing operators.

three racing clubs that had run racing in the region until then

transferred their assets to Phumelela which took over manage-

ment of the sport. Horseracing in the Northern Cape and later

followed by the Free State and Eastern Cape subsequently

South African RacecoursesSouth Africa currently has ten Racecourses which, as

shown on the map, are located throughout the country

at all the major centres.

Of the ten Racecourses, eight have grass surfaces, one has

both grass and sand and one is solely a sand surface (Flamin-

go Park). There are also floodlights installed at the Greyville

track where night meetings take place approximately 24 times

annually and lights have recently been installed at Turffontein.

Race meetings are held daily in South Africa with a carded

programme of from eight to ten races and a typical week’s rac-

ing fixtures would look as follows;

Monday Flamingo Park (Sand)

Clairwood Racecourse

Clairwood Racecourse is built on land that was origi-

nally a swamp and was opened on Tuesday, May 24,

1921. Known as the “Garden Course”, Clairwood is

situated approximately 10 km from the Durban city centre and

2 km from Durban International airport. The left-handed oval

track is a flat 2500 metres in circumference with one of the

easiest turns in the country. The run-in to the winning post is

600 metres. There is also a 1 200 metre straight, meeting the

bend at the 600 metre mark. Wide draws are of little conse-

quence except in races over 1450 m, with a short run-in to the

home turn, and races over 2400 m where the runners jump

straight into the first bend.

Grandstand at Clairwood Racecourse.


Greyville Racecourse

The Greyville Racecourse surrounds the Royal Durban

Golf Club’s Championship course and is situated in

the heart of Durban. In 1996 it became the first track in

the country to install floodlights, enabling the course to stage

night racing. The track is an undulating 2 800 metre pear-

shape. There is a downhill slope from the 2 600 metre mark

then uphill from the 2 400 metre mark to the 1 800 metres.

Thereafter a gentle downward slope for about 800 metres is

followed by a testing uphill section from the 800 metre mark

into a 500 metre home straight which is slightly uphill. Wide

draws are a factor in races over 1 400m to 1 600 m where the

start is situated on the turn.

Scottsville Racecourse

Scottsville Racecourse is situated about 2,5km from the

Pietermaritzburg City Hall and 85 km from Durban. The

track is a right-handed oval and approximately 2 300

metres in circumference with a banked home turn into a divid-

ed 550 metre straight. A portable rail, similar to railway points

system, is used to guide the horses into the inside or outside

straights, both of which rise steeply up to the winning post.

Scottsville also has a tricky 1 200 metre straight course which

is downhill from the start before rising steeply from the junction

to the finish.

Because of the cambered home turn, wide draws appear to be

of little consequence.

Scottsville is also a “Racino” course with the Golden Horse

Casino and hotel conveniently “attached” to the back of the

grandstand allowing both racing and casino patrons easy ac-

cess to both facilities.

Kenilworth Racecourse

Kenilworth is a left-handed track and is unique amongst

South African racecourses in that it consists of three

separate tracks.

There is a new track with a circumference of 2800m and a run-

in of about 600m which is used primarily in summer, and an

old track with a circumference of 2700m and a run-in of about

450m which is normally used for winter racing. There is also a

separate 1200m straight course which bisects the infield at a

diagonal, the three courses only coming together in the pull-up

area. The new course particularly is one of the fairest in South

Africa and gives every horse a winning chance, but ability to

race handy is of greater importance on the old course. The

1200m straight is the stiffest in the country. A climb for the

first 200m and another rise over the final 200m make this a

real test of ability to stay 1200m and horses who go fast early

on almost invariably get caught wanting at the finish. Horses

who seem best over middle distances often do well in 1200m

races at Kenilworth, especially when the winter going is soft or

heavy. Low number draws are generally favoured in sprints,

but fields tend to split into two distinct groups when the going

is heavy and outside barriers then enjoy a slight advantage.

Draws are of little importance around the turn, especially on

the new course.

Durbanville Racecourse

A left-handed course with a circumference of about

2200m, Durbanville has a run-in of about 600m and

no straight course.

Durbanville’s excellent drainage makes it an ideal winter racing

venue and that is when almost all meetings there take place.

With the home straight on a downward slope until just before

the finish and ability to at least race handy is important over al-

most any distance, but the tracks reputation in this regard can

also lead to pacemakers going much too fast early on. Horses

who race from off the pace need a good turn of acceleration

to give of their best at this course. Low number draws are a

marked advantage over almost any distance and Durbanville

has a tendency to produce course specialists.

Turffontein Racecourse

Vaal Racecourse (grass)

Vaal Racecourse (sand)

Turffontein is the Phumelela flagship course and con-

sists of the old “Standside” track and a new inside

track. The Standside course is a right-handed track

with a circumference of approximately 2700m, with a 1200m

straight course joining the round course at about the 800m

mark. The Standside course is widely considered one of SA’s

stiffest tracks because of a steady climb from about the 1200m

to the final turn. The straight course is flat, and the Turffontein

1200m is probably one of the most undemanding in SA. The

draw appears to be of little significance in sprints, but low bar-

riers are favoured in races run over 1400m and 1600m.

The new inside track shares a common back straight with the

Standside Track. All races run clockwise round a tight turn with

a run-in of slightly less than 500m. The track rises 10m from the

1400m to the 500m marks. Low-number draws favoured over

1000m and 1200m.

Nightracing was launced in November 2009.

A right-handed course with a circumference of about

2900m, the Vaal consists of two 1000m straights con-

nected by fairly sharp bends. The run-in of 1000m is

the longest in the country, and the Vaal also has South Africa’s

only 1600m straight course. All races of up to a mile are run

down the straight. Generally, outside draws hold an advantage

on the straight course, especially when the going is soft, but

in the winter months the two extremes appear equally favour-

able and fields tend to split into two distinct groups on either

side of the course. Draws are of little significance in races run

around the turn.

A right-handed course with a 1000m straight course,

with the 1000m start taking place at the top of the

straight. Races over 1200m start in the middle of the

bend, those over 1400m right at the entrance of the bend.

Starting stalls for races over 1400m are positioned at an angle,

to compensate for wide draws. The sand track appears to put

Fairview Racecourse

A right-handed course with a circumference of ap-

proximately 2700m and a run-in of 800m, Fairview

has a straight course of 1200m which joins the round

course at the 800m mark.

The straight course (and therefore the run-in) is mostly down-

hill, which means that most races are run at a good pace. High

number draws hold a marked advantage in races run over the

straight course, but barriers seem of little significance in races

around the turn. Fairview tends to be a slow-draining course

and the going frequently remains soft or heavy for some time

after a wet spell.

Arlington Racecourse

A sharp, undulating right-handed course with a cir-

cumference of approximately 2000m and a run-in of

600m.

There is a 1000m straight course which joins the round course

at about the 600m mark. The sharp uneven nature of the

course has made Arlington notorius as a fast track. The 1000m

straight course is mostly downhill. Barrier draws are of little

importance over most distances as there is a 400m stretch to

the first turn even when racing over 1400m. Races between

1800m and 2000m start from a chute extending from the back

straight. Arlington enjoys excellent drainage and the going is

good to firm almost all year round.

Training CentresThe training of racehorses in South Africa is largely

centralised into training centres controlled by the two

racing operators, Gold Circle and Phumelela. There

are, however, a number of successful private setups around

the country.

In KwaZulu-Natal, operated by Gold Circle, the main train-

ing centre is at Summerveld about 36km from central Durban

at Shongweni and some 600 m above sea level. Over 1 100

horses are stabled here.

Ashburton Training Centre was established in 1984 and the

complex is situated 12 km outside of the KZN capital Pieter-

maritzburg where nearly 500 horses are stabled.

Clairwood Racecourse in Durban is also used as a training

centre and has a small resident population of horses whose

numbers swell during the important winter racing season when

visiting horses are stabled there.

In the Western Cape, also controlled by Gold Circle, the main

training centre is situated on part of the old Milnerton Race-

course on the West Coast where more than 1 000 horses are

stabled.

Phillipi, which houses about 300 horses, is situated on the

Cape Flats on the False Bay side of Table Mountain. Both cen-

tres boast access to the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

In the regions controlled by Phumelela, the main training fa-

cilities on the Highveld are at Randtjiesfontein in Midrand near

Johannesburg, where the majority of the Gauteng-based train-

ers and horses are situated, and at The Vaal Racecourse in

the Free State.

There is also a smaller training community situated at Turf-

fontein Racecourse in the centre of Johannesburg which also

houses the Phumelela headquarters.

In the Eastern Cape, also controlled by Phumelela, the main

training facilities are situated at Arlington Racecourse.
