The Hollywoodbets Durban July, a grand celebration of horse racing and fashion, is fast approaching. This prestigious event, held at the Hollywoodbets Greyville Racecourse, is a vibrant display of color and excitement, attracting both thoroughbreds and celebrities from across the continent.
The Durban July 2023 Favourites
The 2023 edition of the Hollywoodbets Durban July (HDJ) promises an impressive lineup of contenders. Michael Roberts’ SEE IT AGAIN is currently leading the betting boards. This three-year-old colt has already proven his mettle by winning the Daily News 2000 and the SplashOut Cape Derby, fending off several of his July challengers. He is undoubtedly the one to beat.
SAFE PASSAGE, ridden by world-renowned Belgian jockey Christophe Soumillon, is another horse to watch. Despite his recent runs being over distances of a mile or less, this Mike de Kock superstar excels over 2000 metres.
WINCHESTER MANSION is another strong contender, having acclimated well to the Hollywoodbets Greyville during the Champions Season. His victory in the Hollywoodbets Dolphins Cup Trial and a commendable second place in the WSB 1900 in May have propelled him up the ante-post betting markets.
PACAYA, although lightly raced this year, has shown promise by winning the WSB 1900 and holding off WINCHESTER MANSION. Carrying 53kgs, he could be a strong contender if he can handle the additional 300 metres on the big day.
RAIN IN HOLLAND, despite a heavy campaign this year, has demonstrated a remarkable turnaround in form. After forgettable runs in the Paddock Stakes, the WSB Cape Town Met, and the Acacia stakes, this filly went on to win the Woolavington 2000 and the Colorado Stakes. If a female horse is to win the race for the second year running, RAIN IN HOLLAND seems to be the one to do it.
Lifestyle and Fashion
The Hollywoodbets Durban July is not just about horse racing; it’s also a celebration of fashion and lifestyle. This year’s theme, “Out of this World,” provides ample opportunity for fashionistas and designers to showcase their creativity.
