Fashion and horse racing come together in true Durban July style at the official Hollywoodbets Durban July Gallops on Thursday morning (June 26) ahead of the Hollywoodbets Durban July next weekend.
THE Hollywoodbets Durban July is just a week away, and in preparation for the iconic Durban event, Hollywoodbets hosted the official Hollywoodbets Durban July Gallops on Thursday morning (June 27), where racegoers were given a sneak preview of the protagonists for the main race as well as some of the glamorous designs that will be seen on July 6.
