Huge stake increase for Cape Guineas in December
The grade 1 Cape Guineas is scheduled for December 17. The stakes have been increased from R750,000 in 2021 to R2m this year. Hollywoodbets is the new sponsor. There was no racing in the UK on Monday due to the funeral of Queen Elizabeth. The Queen’s Ascot Gold Cup win with Emulate in 2013 was the highlight of her time in racing. She died two days before her death. It was her final win in her long association with racing, which began even before she became a monarch. Her racing manager, John Warren, said she was excited about Love Affair”s win at Goodwood.
