The Hollywoodbets Durban July day event at Greyville is fast approaching, and the excitement is palpable as the entries for the supporting races start to roll in. While much of the focus has been on the prestigious Durban July itself, there are plenty of other races on the card that promise thrilling competition and top-class racing action.
One of the standout matchups to look forward to is the clash between Double Grand Slam and Rascova. These two talented fillies have already developed an intense rivalry, having faced each other seven times in their young careers. Rascova has come out on top in four of those meetings, but Double Grand Slam is rapidly improving and gaining favor among punters.
Double Grand Slam’s recent victory in the Grade 2 Tibouchina Stakes at Greyville showcased her potential, and with co-owner Gary Player leading her into the winner’s circle, she is definitely when to watch. The likes of Humdinger, Bavarian Beauty, and Happy Chance will be looking to challenge her in the upcoming races.
In addition to this exciting matchup, the Ridgemont Garden Province Stakes promises to be a highlight of the day. This Grade 1 contest for fillies and mares on weight-for-age terms has attracted a strong field, including stars like Silver Sanctuary, Humdinger, and Mrs Browning. With trainers like Mike de Kock and Sean Tarry fielding multiple contenders, the competition is sure to be fierce.
As the final declarations approach, the anticipation is building for a day of top-quality racing at Greyville. With so many talented horses vying for glory in the supporting races, spectators can expect a thrilling day of action and excitement.
