PHUMELELA MEDIA RELEASE
SUBJECT: Pick 6 MEGAPOOL in the Cape
RELEASED BY: Phumelela Gaming
It’s that time of the year when everybody is looking for some extra cash to boost their finances and racing fans will get that opportunity on Saturday when the final PICK 6 MEGAPOOL of the year will be up for grabs at the Kenilworth race meeting
Fans are in for treat with the running of the Grade 1 Cape Guineas and the Grade 2 Premier Trophy which will see Hawwaam make his long-awaited debut in the Western Cape.
To add to the merriment, R500,000 will kick off the Pick 6 MEGAPOOL, which is estimated to reach R5 million. Last weekend we saw a smaller carryover and the pool reached well in excess of the estimate to close at over R4 million.
The Cape Guineas has always been seen as the “premier” Guineas in the land as it is the only Grade 1 race over 1600m for three-year-olds. It also acts as an alternative first leg of the SA Triple Crown along with the Gauteng Guineas, a Grade 2 event, at Turffontein in February.
The appearance of Hawwaam in the Premier Trophy seems to have frightened off much of the opposition as only eight horses are carded to go to post for this R350,000 race. Mike de Kock’s charge has been priced up at 1-3 but he only has a 1kg advantage over Twist Of Fate who is now trained by in-form Adam Marcus.
