It’s just weeks now until the running of the R5 million Sun Met 2017 (previously the J&B Met)! Cape Town’s biggest race returns to Kenilworth on the 28th January 2017. After the running of the 2017 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate, race winner LEGAL EAGLE from the Sean Tarry yard tops the betting boards. The Candice Bass-Robinson trained MARINARESCO has drifted out to joint-second favourite with WHISKY BARON. The 2017 Paddock Stakes winner BELA-BELA has put her hand up for contention, while The Sansui Summer Cup 2016 winner MASTER SABINA, and Vodacom Durban July winner THE CONGLOMERATE will also be in the mix. Ante-post betting is available NOW at Hollywoodbets. View the entries below.
