Hollywoodbets Durban July: The Class Of 2022!
The Hollywoodbets Durban July 2021 top two, Kommetdieding and Linebacker, will meet. Gavin Lerena and Grant Van Niekerk will be aboard Komdetdying and Lierger respectively.
The final field announcement and barrier gate draw was held on Tuesday morning. The 2022 line-up included no surprises after the big race panel had to filter 8 of the 28 final entries. Justin Snaith is the defending champion trainer and he saddles 5 runners in his bid to win the Hollywoodbets Durban July for the sixth time. Piere Strydom, who returns at the age of 56 from an injury enforced break, will try to equal Anton Marcus’ record of five winners. Mike de Kock saddled a quartet of July runners and will be keen to get back on to the illustrious honour roll. SA Champion apprentice elect Rachel Venniker partners Gr1 SA Classic winner Red Saxon for veteran Turffontein conditioner Joey Soma.
