Joe Soma Racing has announced that due to unforeseen circumstances on Drakenstein-sponsored jockey Lyle Hewitson’s side, he will not be able to honour his riding engagement on Got The Greenlight in the Vodacom Durban July on 25 July.

The Soma stable report that all is not lost though as they have their old friend Muzi Yeni aboard Got The Greenlight.

“We hope that this doesn’t have major ramifications on the betting, but we felt that it was best to let the punters know the situation,” said a Soma Racing spokesman in a media release published early on Friday.

Durban – Horse racing fans can take heart that the 2020 Vodacom Durban July will take place this year, but as a broadcast-only event behind closed doors.

Vodacom and Gold Circle have confirmed a joint commitment to run Africa’s Greatest Horseracing Event, but under the strictest adherence to all government health protocols surrounding COVID-19.

“Gold Circle, together with the ongoing support of the company’s valued sponsor Vodacom, is fully committed to running the 2020 Vodacom Durban July. Sadly, given the reality of the present circumstances, the race meeting will be staged behind closed doors and without spectators,” said Gold Circle CEO Michel Nairac.

HAWWAAM and SOQRAT(AUS) will race for glory on Saturday, 27 June 2020 in the WORLD SPORTS BETTING PREMIER'S CHAMPIONS CHALLENGE (Grade 1) at Turffontein Standside over 2000m for a stake of R425000

Finding a 16/1 winner is not easy, especially when only two horses are selected per meeting.

However if you know the secret it gets easier.

This video shows how I found DANCE CLASS a 16/1 which beat the stable companion which was favourite into second position.

No details were left out!

I am now working as a contributor for Formgrids and have made this initial video to help you understand one of their features which is the Watchlist.

In the video you will see my personal notes with some of the horses that will be running soon which may become my daily selections.
