Cape Racing Implements New Local Race Condition

Cape Racing has implemented a new local race condition, which states as follows:

“Any horse, which is the subject of a pending or ongoing NHA investigation or inquiry at the time of final declarations, SHALL be precluded from accepting.”

This new rule has been lodged with the National Racing Bureau (NRB) and will become effective from Monday, September 18th, 2023.

Cape Racing’s Chairman Greg Bortz stated:

“As stated publicly on numerous occasions, Cape Racing is committed to upholding and preserving the reputation of horse racing in our country, and we believe that this local condition will contribute meaningfully in this regard. Cape Racing will continuously seek new avenues to protect our horses and enhance the sport of horse racing in South Africa. We will lead by example. “
