SA RACING FACT BOOK 2008/2009 1 2 SA RACING FACTBOOK 2008/2009 Welcome Note W elcome to the 2009 edition of the South African Racing Fact Book. The horseracing industry has, along with almost every other sector of the South African economy, felt the effects of the global economic meltdown that began at the onset of the racing season under review and whilst we in South Africa have not been as badly affected as some racing jurisdictions we have nevertheless felt the impact of this throughout every sector of the industry. In the auction ring a decade of ever increasing sale prices came to an end as our Premier Sale recorded a downturn of 24% with other sales recording drops of between 9-41%. The only sales to perform well were those that were held at the beginning of the 2008/9 racing year which was immediately prior to the start of the recession. Totalisator turnovers were marginally down on the previous year but the lack of growth has meant that, with the exception of our graded and listed race programme, stakes have not managed to keep pace with ever rising costs and this is a major source of concern for the industry which has had to tighten its belt and become more innovative in an effort to attract a greater share of the gambling rand. On a positive note, it has brought the two Racing Operators together in a national effort to rationalise certain areas of our business which will produce cost savings and generate additional revenues both of which will have ongoing benefits for all stakeholders. Internationally, South Africa can truly be regarded as a global player as our horses, trainers and jockeys continue to fly the South African flag with increasing success. Indeed it is rare not to find a South African presence at any of the numerous International Racing carnivals, a statement borne out in the 2009 Melbourne Cup where Mourilyan ran an outstanding race to finish third in the race “that stops a nation”. Trained by Herman Brown and ridden by former South African-based jockey Glynn Schofield, it is ongoing proof of the talent that South Africa produces in all sectors of the industry we are all passionate about. I trust that you will find the information contained in this publication to be both interesting and informative and once again my thanks to all those who have assisted with the process. y b o c s e B John SA RACING FACT BOOK 2008/2009 3 SA Racing Structure RACING In addition to the operation of the race meetings the Racing Operators are also responsible for the training centres located Controlling Body in their regions.

African Racecourses S outh Africa currently has ten Racecourses which, as shown on the map, are located throughout the country at all the major centres. Of the ten Racecourses, eight have grass surfaces, one has both grass and sand and one is solely a sand surface (Flamingo Park). There are also floodlights installed at the Greyville track where night meetings take place approximately 24 times annually and lights have recently been installed at Turffontein. Race meetings are held daily in South Africa with a carded programme of from eight to ten races and a typical week’s racing fixtures would look as follows; Monday Flamingo Park (Sand) Tuesday Kenilworth Wednesday Scottsville Thursday Vaal Friday Fairview; Greyville (Night) Saturday Turffontein; Kenilworth Sunday Clairwood ZIMBABWE BOTSWANA MOZAMBIQUE 1 2 JOHANNESBURG NAMIBIA 8 KIMBERLEY 5 3 4 SOUTH AFRICA 6 CAPE TOWN 26 SA RACING FACT BOOK 2008/2009 9 10 7 PORT ELIZABETH DURBAN 1.

Durbanville Clairwood Racecourse C lairwood Racecourse is built on land that was originally a swamp and was opened on Tuesday, May 24, 1921. Known as the “Garden Course”, Clairwood is situated approximately 10 km from the Durban city centre and 2 km from Durban International airport. The left-handed oval track is a flat 2500 metres in circumference with one of the easiest turns in the country. The run-in to the winning post is 600 metres. There is also a 1 200 metre straight, meeting the bend at the 600 metre mark. Wide draws are of little consequence except in races over 1450 m, with a short run-in to the home turn, and races over 2400 m where the runners jump straight into the first bend. Grandstand at Clairwood Racecourse. SA RACING FACT BOOK 2008/2009 27 Greyville Racecourse 1600m T he Greyville Racecourse surrounds the Royal Durban 1400m Golf Club’s Championship course and is situated in 1800m 2000m 2200m 1200m 2400m the heart of Durban. In 1996 it became the first track in the country to install floodlights, enabling the course to stage night racing. The track is an undulating 2 800 metre pear- 1000m shape. There is a downhill slope from the 2 600 metre mark then uphill from the 2 400 metre mark to the 1 800 metres. Thereafter a gentle downward slope for about 800 metres is followed by a testing uphill section from the 800 metre mark FINISH into a 500 metre home straight which is slightly uphill. Wide 3200m draws are a factor in races over 1 400m to 1 600 m where the start is situated on the turn.

The track is a right-handed oval and approximately 2 300 metres in circumference with a banked home turn into a divided 550 metre straight. A portable rail, similar to railway points system, is used to guide the horses into the inside or outside straights, both of which rise steeply up to the winning post. 2000m FINISH 1200m Scottsville also has a tricky 1 200 metre straight course which is downhill from the start before rising steeply from the junction to the finish. Because of the cambered home turn, wide draws appear to be of little consequence. Scottsville is also a “Racino” course with the Golden Horse Casino and hotel conveniently “attached” to the back of the grandstand allowing both racing and casino patrons easy access to both facilities.

Photo: Airserv SA RACING FACT BOOK 2008/2009 29 Aerial view of Kenilworth Racecourse. 30 SA RACING FACTBOOK 2008/2009 Kenilworth Racecourse K enilworth is a left-handed track and is unique amongst South African racecourses in that it consists of three 1400m 1600m OLD TRACK 2000m 1200m 1000m separate tracks. There is a new track with a circumference of 2800m and a run- 1800m in of about 600m which is used primarily in summer, and an old track with a circumference of 2700m and a run-in of about 450m which is normally used for winter racing. There is also a FINISH separate 1200m straight course which bisects the infield at a diagonal, the three courses only coming together in the pull-up FINISH 2800m area. The new course particularly is one of the fairest in South Africa and gives every horse a winning chance, but ability to race handy is of greater importance on the old course. The 1200m straight is the stiffest in the country. A climb for the first 200m and another rise over the final 200m make this a real test of ability to stay 1200m and horses who go fast early on almost invariably get caught wanting at the finish. Horses who seem best over middle distances often do well in 1200m races at Kenilworth, especially when the winter going is soft or heavy. Low number draws are generally favoured in sprints, but fields tend to split into two distinct groups when the going is heavy and outside barriers then enjoy a slight advantage. Draws are of little importance around the turn, especially on the new course. Durbanville Racecourse A left-handed course with a circumference of about 2200m, Durbanville has a run-in of about 600m and 1200m 1400m 1600m no straight course. Durbanville’s excellent drainage makes it an ideal winter racing 1000m 1800m venue and that is when almost all meetings there take place. With the home straight on a downward slope until just before the finish and ability to at least race handy is important over al- FINISH most any distance, but the tracks reputation in this regard can also lead to pacemakers going much too fast early on. Horses 3200m 2000m who race from off the pace need a good turn of acceleration to give of their best at this course. Low number draws are a marked advantage over almost any distance and Durbanville has a tendency to produce course specialists. SA RACING FACT BOOK 2008/2009 31 Turffontein Racecourse T urffontein is the Phumelela flagship course and con- 1800m 1600m 1200m 1400m sists of the old “Standside” track and a new inside track. The Standside course is a right-handed track with a circumference of approximately 2700m, with a 1200m 1000m straight course joining the round course at about the 800m 500m mark. The Standside course is widely considered one of SA’s FINISH stiffest tracks because of a steady climb from about the 1200m to the final turn. The straight course is flat, and the Turffontein 2200m FINISH 2600m 3000m 1200m is probably one of the most undemanding in SA. The draw appears to be of little significance in sprints, but low barriers are favoured in races run over 1400m and 1600m. The new inside track shares a common back straight with the Standside Track. All races run clockwise round a tight turn with a run-in of slightly less than 500m. The track rises 10m from the 1400m to the 500m marks. Low-number draws favoured over 1000m and 1200m. Nightracing was launced in November 2009. Vaal Racecourse (grass) 2400m 2200m 2000m A right-handed course with a circumference of about 1800m 2900m, the Vaal consists of two 1000m straights connected by fairly sharp bends. The run-in of 1000m is 2800m the longest in the country, and the Vaal also has South Africa’s FINISH 1400m 1600m only 1600m straight course. All races of up to a mile are run down the straight. Generally, outside draws hold an advantage on the straight course, especially when the going is soft, but 1000m in the winter months the two extremes appear equally favour- 1200m able and fields tend to split into two distinct groups on either side of the course. Draws are of little significance in races run around the turn. Vaal Racecourse (sand) 2400m 2200m 2000m A right-handed course with a 1000m straight course, 1800m with the 1000m start taking place at the top of the 1200m straight. Races over 1200m start in the middle of the bend, those over 1400m right at the entrance of the bend. FINISH Starting stalls for races over 1400m are positioned at an angle, to compensate for wide draws. The sand track appears to put 800m 1000m a premium on stamina. The sand track at the Vaal was inaugurated in August 2001. 32 SA RACING FACT BOOK 2008/2009 Fairview Racecourse A right-handed course with a circumference of ap- 2000m 1800m proximately 2700m and a run-in of 800m, Fairview has a straight course of 1200m which joins the round 1600m 2200m 1400m course at the 800m mark. The straight course (and therefore the run-in) is mostly downhill, which means that most races are run at a good pace. High 2400m FINISH 1000m 1100m 1200m number draws hold a marked advantage in races run over the straight course, but barriers seem of little significance in races 2700m 2800m 3600m around the turn. Fairview tends to be a slow-draining course and the going frequently remains soft or heavy for some time after a wet spell. Arlington Racecourse A sharp, undulating right-handed course with a cir- 2000m 1900m 1800m 1600m 1400m 3200m 1200m cumference of approximately 2000m and a run-in of 600m. There is a 1000m straight course which joins the round course at about the 600m mark. The sharp uneven nature of the course has made Arlington notorius as a fast track. The 1000m straight course is mostly downhill. Barrier draws are of little importance over most distances as there is a 400m stretch to FINISH 800m 2200m 2400m 1000m 2800m the first turn even when racing over 1400m. Races between 1800m and 2000m start from a chute extending from the back straight. Arlington enjoys excellent drainage and the going is good to firm almost all year round. Turffontein Racecourse by night SA RACING FACT BOOK 2008/2009 33 34 SA RACING FACTBOOK 2008/2009 Training Centres T he training of racehorses in South Africa is largely centralised into training centres controlled by the two racing operators, Gold Circle and Phumelela. There are, however, a number of successful private setups around the country. In KwaZulu-Natal, operated by Gold Circle, the main training centre is at Summerveld about 36km from central Durban at Shongweni and some 600 m above sea level. Over 1 100 horses are stabled here. Ashburton Training Centre was established in 1984 and the complex is situated 12 km outside of the KZN capital Pietermaritzburg where nearly 500 horses are stabled. Clairwood Racecourse in Durban is also used as a training centre and has a small resident population of horses whose numbers swell during the important winter racing season when visiting horses are stabled there. In the Western Cape, also controlled by Gold Circle, the main training centre is situated on part of the old Milnerton Racecourse on the West Coast where more than 1 000 horses are stabled. Phillipi, which houses about 300 horses, is situated on the Cape Flats on the False Bay side of Table Mountain. Both centres boast access to the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean. In the regions controlled by Phumelela, the main training facilities on the Highveld are at Randtjiesfontein in Midrand near Johannesburg, where the majority of the Gauteng-based trainers and horses are situated, and at The Vaal Racecourse in the Free State. There is also a smaller training community situated at Turffontein Racecourse in the centre of Johannesburg which also houses the Phumelela headquarters. In the Eastern Cape, also controlled by Phumelela, the main training facilities are situated at Arlington Racecourse.
