A RARE BLEND OF EVERYTHING HORSERACING HAS TO ..

A RARE BLEND OF EVERYTHING HORSERACING HAS TO OFFER




Think fashion, music, food and the rush of thundering hooves as Cape Town

gets ready for its biggest annual outdoor social event.



South Africa’s longest standing horse race and Cape Town’s largest annual

outdoor social event is coming to Kenilworth racecourse on Saturday 30

January 2016.



The 2016 J&B™ Met was officially launched at Kenilworth Racecourse

yesterday afternoon, providing guests with a sneak peek of what’s to come

on January 30th. The event was a resounding success and was well supported

by media, stakeholders and local celebrities.



This event has been attracting different South Africans who come together

to celebrate the best of fashion, music, food and horseracing since 1977 -

A rare blend that still exists today. Celebrating their 39th year as event

sponsor, what started off as a small sponsorship for J&B™ is now South

Africa’s longest running sports sponsorship and the race itself is now the

oldest horserace in the country - A true legacy indeed.



J&B™’s story has always been about the different and the unexpected coming

together and creating something rare – the ultimate and original example of

this was when an eccentric Italian called Justerini crossed paths with an

English gentleman called Brooks to form J&B™. This partnership in itself

broke with tradition and shattered the conventions of the day, not only by

bringing together 36 malt and 6 grain whiskies to create a truly rare blend

of whisky, but also by creating the now distinguished and globally

recognisable bright yellow label.



In honour of the brand, its unique heritage and its valued legacy, the

theme for the 2016 J&B™ Met is “A Rare Blend”. Those attending next year’s

event will be challenged to incorporate A Rare Blend into how they dress on

the day. Think different styles, textures or ideas and how you can bring

these together to great effect?



J&B™ encourages you to think beyond the norm, to create something different

and unexpected and to plan an outfit that is itself a rare blend, made

different just like J&B™.



Due to its popularity at this year’s event, the “Racing. It’s a Rush Public

Village” will be back in 2016, giving racing fans an opportunity to not

only get the best view of the horseracing, but also the front row to some

phenomenal entertainment thanks to the “Schweppes Gig Rig in association

with Goodhope FM”.

MC’s for the night include Funny man Kurt Schoonraad, and Goodhope FM

Presenters DJ Loyd , Dalin Oliver and Carissa Cupido. The full talent

line-up includes amazing South African talent: Crazy White Boy Live, Jimmy

Nevis, The Kiffness, DJ Reddy D, Kurt Schoonraad and some of Cape Town’s

finest DJ’s – Sox, Dean Fuel, Strange Lovers, Brett Aitken, Kanan K7 &
