The fever is building as two of the most exciting series on the South African horseracing calendar kicks off this weekend at Turffontein Racecourse. Both the SASCOC Triple Crown and the Wilgerbosdrift Triple Tiara are set to set the track alight with first legs of each series being run on Saturday March 1, the Betting World Guineas and the Wilgerbosdrift Fillies Guineas.
Large crowds are expected to descend on Turffontein as racegoers enjoy both the opportunity of winning a brand new VW Polo in the on-course competition as well as to take advantage of unbelievable prices of the ocean’s bounty at the Joburg Prawn Festival where queen prawns are selling at just R59 for ½ a kilo including chips or rice.
Get down to Turffontein Racecourse and you could soon be driving off in a brand new set of wheels or simply enjoy the kids entertainment, beer garden, live music and of course first class South African horseracing. Entry is free and the gates open at 11:00.
