Hollywoodbets Durban July 2024

Big race sponsors Hollywoodbets have opened up the ante-post betting market for the 128th renewal of the R5 million Hollywoodbets Durban July to be run at the Theatre Of Dreams on Saturday 6 July.

Michael Roberts’ stable star See It Again, who disappointed many with a below par run in the World Sports Betting Cape Town Met recently but ran second behind Winchester Mansion last year, is a 4-1 favourite.

Both of Saturday’s impressive Guineas winners Gimme A Nother and Sandringham Summit feature in the top quartet on the boards.

WSB Cape Town Met winner Double Superlative is quoted at 16-1, while Durban July defending champion Winchester Mansion is currently at 20-1.
