SA RACING FACT BOOK 2011/2012 3
Welcome to the 2012 edition of the South African Racing Fact Book which this year as well as record-
ing all the champions and achievers for the South African season also includes for the first time
a section on Zimbabwe which I hope you will find of interest as there are many names both human and
equine that are well known to us all.
Congratulations to the 4 year old Western Winter (USA) colt “What A Winter” South Africa’s Champion
Racehorse for 2012 with a rating of 120 achieved in the Grade 1 Mercury Sprint. Close behind on a rating
of 119 and voted Equus Horse of the year was the 3 year old Var (USA) colt “Variety Club” who won the
Cape Premier Yearling Sales Guineas and the Rising Sun Gold Challenge both Grade 1 events. As far as
individual champions were concerned it was another outstanding year for Champion Trainer Michael de
Kock, Champion Jockey Anton Marcus and leading owners Ingrid and Markus Jooste all of whom were
winning for a consecutive three years, an outstanding achievement. Even more remarkable was the feat
of Summerhill Stud who was once again crowned Champion Breeder for the eighth year in a row.
Once again we were treated to some spectacular racing with the country’s premier race the Vodacom
Durban July producing a thrilling finish in which “Pomodoro” prevailed by a short head over the outsider
“Smanjemanje” to record a memorable victory for her connections, owner Chris van Niekerk, Trainer
Sean Tarry and Jockey Pierre Strydom.
In the Sales ring it was encouraging, with the exception of the 2 YO Sales, to see the continued improve-
ment in Gross Turnovers in all other sales categories and whilst one hopes for a continuation of this trend
the question of increased stakes needs to be addressed as they continue to lag behind the ever increasing
bills that face the embattled owner.
On the wagering front whilst tote turnovers improved by 4.0%, continuing last year’s turnaround, it is
interesting to note that over 80% of this increase was derived from bets taken on the various soccer pools
on offer. This bet type continues to grow in popularity and whilst I was once again hoping to compare
the Tote’s turnover with that of the Bookmakers this has not been possible due to the late submission of
returns by some provinces to the National Gambling Board.
Once again my thanks to those individuals and organisations that have contributed to the this the 5th
edition of the publication.
Sadly due to a lack of sponsorship this year’s publication will initially only be available in an electronic
format but I trust you will continue to find it both enjoyable and informative.

INDUSTRY PROFILESThe African Horse Sickness (AHS) TrustThe AHS Trust was primarily established to raise funds for
research into the control and management of AHS and for a
potential cure for the disease. Since the 2006 AHS season the
Trust has managed a surveillance system in parallel with the SA
Veterinary Services system. Increasing awareness of the disease
and accuracy of reporting has been achieved with the result
that better decisions could be taken by both industry and the
State Veterinary Authority. Additionally, strategic AHS vaccina-
tion campaigns have been facilitated by the Trust in order to
raise levels of immunity among indigent communities.
Betting World (Pty) LtdBetting World is a bookmaking business operating 42
bookmaking branches in South Africa which is wholly owned by
Phumelela Gaming and Leisure Ltd.
BloodStock South Africa (BSA)BloodStock South Africa is the marketing arm of the Thorough-
bred Breeders Association and has been conducting sales since
1977. BSA currently conducts five major sales a year from its
own complex at Gosforth Park (Gauteng), Durban (KwaZulu-
Natal) and Cape Town (Western Province).
Cape Thoroughbred Sales (Pty) LtdA privately-owned company that conducted two major sales,
operated in the period under review.
Equine Research Centre, OnderstepoortFounded in 1990 the Equine Research Centre was established
to provide scientific and veterinary services to the horseracing
and breeding industry. A research co-operation agreement ex-
ists between Racing South Africa and the University of Pretoria
where current research is focusing on:
Gold Circle Horseracing and Betting (Pty) LtdGold Circle is one of the two South African Racing operators.
It operates thoroughbred horseracing at five tracks situated in
KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape, their flagship racecours-
es being Greyville in Durban and Kenilworth in Cape Town. The
company was created by the amalgamation of several Racing
Clubs and organisations representing thoroughbred breeders,
owners and trainers in the two regions in which it operates. Gold
Circle is also responsible for the training centres located in each
province: Summerveld, Asburton and Clairwood Park In KZN
and Milnerton and Philippi in the Western Cape.
The Grooms School TrustThe Grooms School Trust is operated under the SA Racing &
Equestrian Academy banner. There are currently four grooms’
schools in operation, two in the Western Cape Province and two
in KwaZulu-Natal. The purpose of the school is to offer courses
where grooms are educated to a level that enables them to work
effectively, safely and with care in the stable yards where they
are employed. All courses boast an incentive scheme for both
groom and trainer.
SA RACING FACT BOOK 2011/2012 7
Harness Racing Association of South Africa (HRSA)The Harness Racing Association of South Africa (HRSA) was
established in 2004 in an effort to complement the current thor-
oughbred status quo, and provide a means to transformation
in the horseracing and stud breeding sectors. The code caters
to amateur participation and is a less expensive platform for
equine racing. HRSA is the governing body and holds the rules
for harness racing in South Africa and the neighbouring coun-
tries, and is a full member of the
International Trotting Association. HRSA also carries full
responsibility for keeping the Standardbred Stud Book, and
allied registers.
Catering to the gaits of both “trot” and “pace”, harness rac-
ing includes not only the driven “sulky” version, but the ridden
“monte” version as well. HRSA is the licensee of the Dundee
racecourse.
Horseracing South Africa (PTY) LtdHorseracing South Africa (Pty) Ltd, trading as Racing South Afri-
ca, was founded in August 2005 to look after matters of national
and international interest, in particular the internationalisation of
the sport of horseracing through the development of the South
African Horse Export Protocol, equine research and marketing
of South African bloodstock to international markets. Owned
and funded equally by the Breeders, Operators and Owners its
functions are to:
Centre
Export Working Group
Council
Trust
national importance
Import Export Working GroupThe Import Export Working Group was formed in response to the
de-registration of the SA Horse Import & Export Council (NFP).
As a private-public partnership with the Department of Agricul-
ture, Forestry and Fisheries (DAFF), it is responsible for the on-
going maintenance of the South African Horse Export Protocol
and the development of a sustainable delivery system for the
movement of horses in and out of South Africa.
Kenilworth Quarantine StationIn 1997, a high-tech vector protected quarantine station was
built at Kenilworth Racecourse in Cape Town to facilitate the ex-
Kong. An additional 32 stables have been added and more than
1000 horses have since been exported. The facility has access
to a 1200m sand track, a lunge ring, a horse walker and kilo-
metres of bridle ways within Kenilworth racetrack, making it the
only facility in South Africa that can accommodate international
competition horses.
National Gambling BoardThe National Gambling Board is the controlling body for wager-
ing in South Africa and operates under the National Gambling
Act 2004. The Act makes provision for the oversight of mat-
ters relating to casinos, gambling, betting and wagering and
promotes uniform norms and standards in relation to gambling
throughout South Africa. It also oversees regional Gambling
Boards for the individual provinces.
National Horseracing Authority of South-ern Africa (NHA)Formerly “The Jockey Club of Southern Africa” the NHA’s core
function of its Racing Division is to ensure that thoroughbred
racing is provided with a competent and efficient racehorse and
jockey control and monitoring service to “maintain the integrity
of horseracing”. The Studbook Department is a division of the
NHA that manages and regulates all processes relating to the in-
corporation of horses into the thoroughbred population in South
Africa. The NHA has operated its own laboratory since 1985
and currently tests both horse and jockey specimens. A total
of 89 000 specimens have been analysed since it commenced
operations. The laboratory also carries out contract analysis for
other equine sports as well as feed and residue analysis for meat
exportation from South Africa.

INDUSTRY PROFILESNational Horse TrustThis organisation started of as the National Thoroughbred Trust
in 1989 and later changed to the National Horse Trust. The
South African horseracing industry, through the then Associa-
tion of Racing Clubs of Southern Africa (ARCSA), started the
National Horse Trust and developed a programme unique to
South Africa to try to reduce potential neglect and deteriora-
tion of thoroughbreds after their racing careers. The Trust to
date has established four Horse Care Units which are situated
throughout SA and located where possible on the premises of
existing welfare organisations such as local SPCAs.
National Racing BureauIn 2005 South Africa’s two racing operators, Gold Circle and
Phumelela, established a central office to handle entries, decla-
rations and card changes for all race meetings throughout South
Africa in an industry bid to streamline the administration of
the sport. The Bureau has a highly sophisticated telephone call
centre and computer system and offers all role players a more
efficient system.
Phumelela Gaming and Leisure LtdPhumelela Gaming and Leisure is one of the two South African
racing operators.
Horseracing in Gauteng was corporatised in 1998 and the three
racing clubs that had run racing in the region until then trans-
ferred their assets to Phumelela which took over management of
the sport. Horseracing in the Northern Cape and later followed
by the Free State and Eastern Cape subsequently joined the cor-
poratisation process. Phumelela was listed on the Johannesburg
Stock Exchange (JSE) in 2002. Phumelela conducts horserac-
ing at five tracks in these regions, its flagship being Turffontein
Racecourse situated in the south of Johannesburg.
Phumelela Gold Enterprises (PGE)This is a joint venture between South African horseracing and
tote betting operators Phumelela Gaming and Leisure Ltd and
Gold Circle (Pty) Ltd. PGE is managed by Phumelela and owns
the domestic and international broadcast and information rights
to South African horseracing. PGE is currently regarded as a
leader in the commingling of international betting pools and in-
ternational Telecasting.
Racing AssociationOne of the organisations established to look after owners’ in-
terests, the Racing Association with a membership compris-
ing owners and former racing club members was established
to represent the interest of owners in the Phumelela regions.
It is run by a board of Directors elected from the ranks of its
members. The Directors appoint two of the four trustees to the
Racing Trust which holds a 35% share in Phumelela. They ap-
point a third trustee in conjunction with National Sports Council
Investments.
Saftote (TAB)The two racing operators Phumelela and Gold Circle are li-
censed horseracing and tote betting operators in South Africa.
They commingle (combine) all tote bets in South Africa into
single national pools under the “TAB” banner which is man-
aged by Phumelela.
SA Jockey AcademyThis is the only institution in South Africa that offers an appren-
tice programme for aspiring professional jockeys. Acclaimed
worldwide, this sports academy is situated in Summerveld, Kwa-
Zulu-Natal, and has satellite campuses in Cape Town and Port
Elizabeth. There is also an academy based in Gauteng funded
and administered by The Racing Trust. Also operated under this
banner is the Grooms School Trust that operates courses for the
education of grooms.
SA Jockeys Association The national body is the South African Jockeys Association
“SAJA” although all jockeys are individually contracted to the
racing operators as independent professionals.
South African Equine Trade Council (SAETRAC)Formed in 2001, SAETRAC is the marketing arm of Racing
South Africa and is responsible for promoting South African
bloodstock (of all breeds) to world markets. As a member of the
Association of Export Councils, it derives part of its funding from
the Department of Trade & Industry. It is also responsible for
establishing market access in foreign countries and facilitating
the export of horses of all breeds.

TellytrackTellytrack, which is owned and managed by Phumelela Gold
Enterprises, is South Africa’s horseracing channel where all
South African and International races on which TAB oper-
ates are screened live on pay channel DSTV. Tellytrack is also
beamed live into TAB outlets.
The Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association of South Africa (TBA)
The TBA is the National South African Breeders Association
and was founded in 1921. It is run by a council elected from
its members. It conducts its sales through its marketing arm,
BloodStock South Africa which currently conducts five major
sales a year throughout South Africa. In addition to the TBA
there are two regional Breeders Clubs, representing the Cape
and KZN regions.
The Thoroughbred HorseracingTrustThe Thoroughbred Horseracing Trust (The Racing Trust) is an
independent, non-aligned and transparent organisation created
in 1988 by The Racing Association and the National Sports
Council (now the South African Sports Confederation & Olympic
Committee). The principal object of the Trust is to promote the
interests of all persons interested in, and affected by, the sport
in South Africa, with a view to the long term viability of the sport.
It is particularly concerned with transformation and is charged
with initiating, supporting and encouraging the participation of
persons who have been historically disadvantaged and discrimi-
nated against. The Racing Trust also provides supplementary
stakes for horse racing events.
The Racing Trust currently totally supports the Gauteng Jock-
eys’ Academy, the Work Riders’ Training Programme and race
series and a new venture training young men to become farriers.
It also contributes towards supporting the Grooms’ School at
Randjiesfontein, the Equine Research Centre at Onderstepoort
and the informal racing sectors of the Eastern and Northern
Capes.
Thoroughbred Racing Development CentreThe Thoroughbred Racing Development Centre began in 1999.
The object of the centre is to improve the riding skills of all work
riders and to discover any talent. The centre runs both a work
rider and an advanced race-riding course.
10 SA RACING FACT BOOK 2011/2012
INDUSTRYHorse exports from South Africa
When horse exports from South Africa were being negotiat-
ed with the European Union in 1997, one of the key driv-
ers was the prospect of Cape Town hosting the Olympic Games
in 2008. Ultimately that bid went to China with the Equestrian
Games hosted by Hong Kong, at the Hong Kong Jockey Club’s
Sha Tin racecourse and training facility.
Following the successful hosting of the Soccer World Cup in
2010, South Africa recently announced that it was planning to
launch a new bid for the 2020 Olympic Games. If successful, it
is expected that Cape Town will host the Equestrian Games to
allow international horses to compete within the AHS Controlled
Area in the Western Cape.
African horse sickness (AHS) defines the manner in which
South Africa is able to export its horses. The virus is endemic
to Africa and is transmitted by the bite of the culicoides midge
which is normally prevalent in southern Africa during the sum-
mer months (January through April), especially to the north and
east of the country. During the harsh South African winter, how-
ever, the breeding cycle of the culicoides midge is suppressed
and the threat of virus transmission eliminated, thus providing
an annual, risk free window.
An outbreak of AHS in the Middle East in the late 1950’s led
to a suspension of movement of horses from Africa until 1997
when the EU lifted the ban under negotiated conditions defined
in the South African Export Protocol (97/10/EC). These condi-
tions included regionalizing South Africa’s AHS Controlled Area
in Western Cape; imposing a 60 day residency in the AHS Free
Zone (Cape Town), the last 40 of which are under high tech
and testing for various diseases.
Since 1997, South Africa has safely exported over 1000 horses
-
tion.
However, this number is expected to grow dramatically when
the new international regulations (AHS Code) that were adopted
at the May 2012 General Assembly of the World Organisation
for Animal Health (OIE) are introduced into importing country’s
import conditions. This will be further supported by the devel-
opment of the latest technology diagnostic test, the RT-qPCR,
which will potentially reduce the pre-export quarantine period
from 40 to 14 days.
Apart from increased exports, these changes will also influence
shuttle stallions and South Africa’s international racing and
equestrian ambitions.

nilworth Racecourse, Cape Town’s premier racecourse, and
boasts 36 stables, a 1200m sand training track, horse walker
and lunge ring. Lizard’s Desire, JJ The Jet Plane, Gypsy’s Warn-
ing, Jay Peg, Dane Julia are just a few names to have passed
through the facility on their way to international fame.

SOUTH AFRICAN RACECOURSES
South Africa currently has 10 racecourses which, as shown
on the map, are located throughout the country at all the
major centres.
Of the 10 racecourses, eight have grass surfaces, one has both
grass and sand and one is solely a sand surface (Flamingo
Park). There are also floodlights installed at the Greyville track
where night meetings take place approximately 24 times annu-
ally and lights have recently been installed at Turffontein.
Race meetings are held daily in South Africa with a carded
programme of from eight to ten races and a typical week’s
racing fixtures would look as follows;
Monday - Flamingo Park (Sand)
Tuesday - Scottsville Racecourse
Wednesday - Kenilworth Racecourse
Thursday - Vaal Racecourse
Friday - Fairview Racecourse
Greyville (Night) Racecourse

Clairwood Racecourse
Clairwood Racecourse is built on land that was originally a
swamp and was opened on Tuesday, May 24, 1921. Known
as the “Garden Course”, Clairwood is situated approximately 10
km from the Durban city centre and 45 km from King Shaka
International airport. The left-handed oval track is a flat 2500
metres in circumference with one of the easiest turns in the
country. The run-in to the winning post is 600 metres. There is
also a 1 200 metre straight, meeting the bend at the 600 metre
mark. Wide draws are of little consequence except in races over
1450 m, with a short run-in to the home turn, and races over
2400 m where the runners jump straight into the first bend.
Greyville Racecourse
The Greyville Racecourse surrounds the Royal Durban Golf
Club’s Championship course and is situated in the heart of
Durban. In 1996 it became the first track in the country to install
floodlights, enabling the course to stage night racing. The track
is an undulating 2 800 metre pear-shape. There is a downhill
slope from the 2 600 metre mark then uphill from the 2 400
metre mark to the 1 800 metres. Thereafter a gentle downward
slope for about 800 metres is followed by a testing uphill section
from the 800 metre mark into a 500 metre home straight which
is slightly uphill. Wide draws are a factor in races over 1 400m
to 1 600 m where the start is situated on the turn.

Scottsville Racecourse
Scottsville Racecourse is situated about 2,5km from the Pi-
etermaritzburg City Hall and 85 km from Durban. The track
is a right-handed oval and approximately 2 300 metres in cir-
cumference with a banked home turn into a divided 550 metre
straight. A portable rail, similar to railway points system, is used
to guide the horses into the inside or outside straights, both of
which rise steeply up to the winning post.
Scottsville also has a tricky 1 200 metre straight course which
is downhill from the start before rising steeply from the junction
to the finish.
Because of the cambered home turn, wide draws appear to be
of little consequence.
Scottsville is also a “Racino” course with the Golden Horse Ca-
sino and hotel conveniently “attached” to the back of the grand-
stand allowing both racing and casino patrons easy access to
both facilities.
Durbanville Racecourse
A left-handed course with a circumference of about 2200m,
Durbanville has a run-in of about 600m and no straight
course.
Durbanville’s excellent drainage makes it an ideal winter racing
venue and that is when almost all meetings there take place.
With the home straight on a downward slope until just before the
finish and ability to at least race handy is important over almost
any distance, but the tracks reputation in this regard can also
lead to pacemakers going much too fast early on. Horses who
race from off the pace need a good turn of acceleration to give
of their best at this course. Low number draws are a marked
advantage over almost any distance and Durbanville has a ten-
dency to produce course specialists.

SA RACING FACT BOOK 2011/2012 31
Kenilworth Racecourse
Kenilworth is a left-handed track and is unique amongst
South African racecourses in that it consists of three sepa-
rate tracks.
There is a new track with a circumference of 2800m and a
run-in of about 600m which is used primarily in summer, and
an old track with a circumference of 2700m and a run-in of
about 450m which is normally used for winter racing. There is
also a separate 1200m straight course which bisects the infield
at a diagonal, the three courses only coming together in the
pull-up area. The new course particularly is one of the fairest
in South Africa and gives every horse a winning chance, but
ability to race handy is of greater importance on the old course.
The 1200m straight is the stiffest in the country. A climb for the
first 200m and another rise over the final 200m make this a
real test of ability to stay1200m and horses who go fast early on
almost invariably get caught wanting at the finish. Horses who
seem best over middle distances often do well in 1200m races
at Kenilworth, especially when the winter going is soft or heavy.
Low number draws are generally favoured in sprints, but fields
tend to split into two distinct groups when the going is heavy and
outside barriers then enjoy a slight advantage. Draws are of little
importance around the turn,especially on the new course.

Vaal Racecourse (Sand)
Vaal Racecourse (Grass)
Turffontein Racecourse
Turffontein is the Phumelela flagship course and consists
of the old “Standside” track and a new inside track. The
Standside course is a right-handed track with a circumference
of approximately 2700m, with a 1200m straight course join-
ing the round course at about the 800m mark. The Standside
course is widely considered one of SA’s stiffest tracks because
of a steady climb from about the 1200m to the final turn. The
straight course is flat, and the Turffontein 1200m is probably
one of the most undemanding in SA. The draw appears to be
of little significance in sprints, but low barriers are favoured in
races run over 1400m and 1600m.
The new inside track shares a common back straight with the
Standside Track. All races run clockwise round a tight turn with
a run-in of slightly less than 500m. The track rises 10m from
the 1400m to the 500m marks. Low-number draws favoured
over 1000m and 1200m. Floodlights were installed in 2009 and
nightracing was launced in November.
A right-handed course with a circumference of about 2900m,
the Vaal consists of two 1000m straights connected by fair-
ly sharp bends. The run-in of 1000m is the longest in the coun-
try, and the Vaal also has South Africa’s only 1600m straight
course that has been divided into two tracks. All races of up to a
mile are run down the straight. Generally, outside draws hold an
advantage on the straight course, especially when the going is
soft, but in the winter months the two extremes appear equally
favourable and fields tend to split into two distinct groups on
either side of the course. Draws are of little significance in races
run around the turn.
A right-handed course with a 1000m straight course, with the
1000m start taking place at the top of the straight. Races
over 1200m start in the middle of the bend, those over 1400m
right at the entrance of the bend. Starting stalls for races over
1400m are positioned at an angle, to compensate for wide
draws. The sand track appears to put a premium on stamina.
The sand track at the Vaal was inaugurated in August 2001.

Fairview Racecourse
Arlington Racecourse
Flamingo Park (Sand)
A right-handed course with a circumference of approximately
2700m and a run-in of 800m, Fairview has a straight course
of 1200m which joins the round course at the 800m mark.
The straight course (and therefore the run-in) is mostly down-
hill, which means that most races are run at a good pace. High
number draws hold a marked advantage in races run over the
straight course, but barriers seem of little significance in races
around the turn. Fairview tends to be a slow-draining course
and the going frequently remains soft or heavy for some time
after a wet spell.

A sharp, undulating right-handed course with a circumfer-

There is a 1000m straight course which joins the round course
at about the 600m mark. The sharp uneven nature of the course
has made Arlington notorius as a fast track. The 1000m straight
course is mostly downhill. Barrier draws are of little importance
over most distances as there is a 400m stretch to the first turn
even when racing over 1400m. Races between 1800m and
2000m start from a chute extending from the back straight. Ar-
lington enjoys excellent drainage and the going is good to firm
almost all year round.
Races up to 1 000m straight course, beyond 1 000m clock-
wise round turn with 600m run-in. Draw of little account in
straight races. Low number draws favoured over 1 200m and to
a lesser extent over 1 400m and 1 600m.

TRAINING CENTRES
The training of racehorses in South Africa is largely cen-
tralised into training centres controlled by the two racing
operators, Gold Circle and Phumelela. There are, however, a
number of successful private setups around the country.
In KwaZulu-Natal, operated by Gold Circle, the main training
centre is at Summerveld about 36km from central Durban
at Shongweni and some 600 m above sea level. Over 1 100
horses are stabled here.
Ashburton Training Centre was established in 1984 and the
complex is situated 12 km outside the KZN capital Pieterma-
ritzburg where nearly 500 horses are stabled.
Clairwood Racecourse in Durban is also used as a training
centre and has a small resident population of horses whose
numbers swell during the important winter racing season
when visiting horses are stabled there.
In the Western Cape, also controlled by Gold Circle, the main
training centre is situated on part of the old Milnerton Race-
course on the West Coast where more than 1 000 horses
are stabled.
Phillipi, which houses about 300 horses, is situated on the
Cape Flats on the False Bay side of Table Mountain. Both
centres boast access to the cold waters of the Atlantic
Ocean.
In the regions controlled by Phumelela, the main training
facilities on the Highveld are at Randtjesfontein, where a
new polytrack training facility has recently been installed,
in Midrand near Johannesburg, where the majority of the
Gauteng-based trainers and horses are situated, and at The
Vaal Racecourse in the Free State.
There is also a smaller training community situated at Turf-
fontein Racecourse in the centre of Johannesburg which
also houses the Phumelela headquarters.
In the Eastern Cape, also controlled by Phumelela, the main
training facilities are situated at Arlington Racecourse.
