To celebrate the launch of Champions Season, we'll be offering a guaranteed must-be-won prize of R500 000 for the player/s who select the most winners in the Punters' Challenge on 7 May 2022.
R500 000 MUST BE WON!
The SA Champions Season is the recognised national championship of South African horseracing. It’s the arena where the cream of the national thoroughbred crop go head-to-head, where new stars are born and, where our Equus Champions earn their stripes.
The champagne show gets underway at Hollywoodbets Greyville in Durban on Saturday, 7 May 2022.
To celebrate the big season launch, Hollywoodbets will be offering a guaranteed must-be-won prize of R500 000 for the player/s selecting the most winners on the day in the popular free-to-enter Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge.
Should a player/s find all nine winners on the day, the R2 million progressive jackpot prize is payable. If there is more than one player tying on the all or most winner count on the day, the prize will be shared proportionately.
In an environment where it’s literally all about the winners, the SA Champions Season launch-pad of the Independent On Saturday Gr2 Drill Hall Stakes and the individual sex Guineas, will have established and brand-new racing fans’ hearts pumping as the best take on the best – to be the best.
The Drill Hall Stakes, won last season by recently retired SA Horse Of The Year Rainbow Bridge, is a traditional starting point for the season’s big-hitters, with match fitness – or a lack of it – and the sharp 1400m, often separating the men from the boys!
The sophomore generation get their chance in the two classics on the afternoon, and the best 3yo’s of both sexes from all four corners of South Africa will meet head-on in a clash of future champions.
Besides the honour and the glory, and a place in the history books of the turf, there is plenty to play for during the season, as in addition to the increase in the Gr1 Hollywoodbets Durban July stake from R2m in 2021 to a highest-ever R5 million for the 2022 renewal, there is a further stakes top-up of R13 million by Hollywoodbets and Gold Circle being injected into minor races and feature races from 1 March – 31 August, bringing the total to an incredible R16 million!
Since being introduced some seasons ago at all racemeetings on the East Coast, the Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge has proven a winner and has already created one millionaire who bagged R2 325 000 after tipping all of the winners on a KZN card.
A cocktail of horseracing knowledge, punting acumen, passion and raw luck, are in the mix as players select a horse in each race with the aim of finding every winner on the card, or at the least, accumulating more points than other competitors.
But even if you are a newbie and only have luck on your side as a start, take a free ticket and enjoy the thrills that only horseracing can offer.
The game is free to play for all Hollywoodbets account holders, using their login credentials on the Hollywoodbets Punters’ Challenge website.
It’s simple! A player is required to select one horse in each race on the day’s race card, and submit their picks 5 minutes before the first race of the day.
While players receive points depending on where their selection finishes in a race, and how many actual runners there are in that race, please remember that the aim is always to find the winner!
Get your entry in early and sit back and enjoy the ride!
