Hollywoodbets Durban July welcomes the crowds back

Durban - With the news this week that all Covid restrictions and regulations have been removed, and that all sporting and other events have opened up unconditionally, Gold Circle looks forward to welcoming thousands of horse racing fans to the 2022 Hollywoodbets Durban July at Greyville Race Course on Saturday 2 July.

 “The fact that proof of Vaccination or negative PCR Tests is no longer a requirement for entry to the race course is most welcome and a great boost for the event. Entrance tickets at R230,00 are on sale at all Computicket outlets and racegoers can look forward to a great day with a mixture of high-quality thoroughbred horse racing, exciting fashion and contemporary music combining to ensure an incredible sporting and social experience,” said Marketing and Events Executive Stephen Marshall. 

“The Durban July has traditionally brought the rainbow nation together in a spirit of goodwill and excitement and with the support of our new sponsors Hollywoodbets, this year will now be no different.” he added.

The first of 12 races is due off at 11:50 with the Hollywoodbets Durban July scheduled for 16:00. Gates will open at 09:00.

Hollywoodbets Durban July 2022 Theme
Show me the honey!


There’s a buzz in Mzanzi,
We’ve been patient a long while!
Swelling buds burst open,
And racegoers will be back in style.

Fashionistas all abustle,
Parading their creations.
Who will taste sweet success?
Couturier sensations!

Bees dart from flower to flower,
Gathering pollen before sunset
Like punters look for info,
On which horse to place a bet.

But horseracing is what it’s all about,
And nothing could be sweeter.
Than to shout your fancy home,
The new equine world beater.

The Hollywoodbets Durban July.
Africa’s Greatest Horseracing Event.
