What goes around, comes around!

The 2023 Betway Summer Cup was run
in front of a bustling crowd at “The Big T”
on Saturday 25th November and I must
acknowledge 4Racing and Betway on
putting together a superb event. Special
thanks must be made to Betway, not
only did they raise the stake of the main
race to a fantastic R5 million, but their
amazing gesture of giving every Groom
taking care of a horse in the final field of
the Betway Summer Cup a guaranteed
R20 000 incentive was an incredible way
of recognising the contribution of the most
hard-working and dedicated members
of the horseracing industry. To Joburg
Tourism Company, Jonsson Workwear,
New Turf Carriers and South African
Airways a massive thank you for all of
your support. The racing was of a very
high standard and with 5 Graded Races
on the day, patrons were treated to some
inspired performances. I congratulate all
connections and especially those of Royal
Victory, who took the main race piloted by
Muzi Yeni. Turn to page 4 for a full recap of
the special day. Peter Victor who partowns Royal Victory is also our ROA Owner
of the Month, turn to page 13 for this

this is the CEO's take on the Summer Cup -zero about the debacle that started after the first race...remind me again why we have an ROA

R70 million for damages - that's a big number, even in a John  Grisham novel

Bob when I click on the "action" button and choose the "quote" tab it lands up sending me to a PM screen to fingers.

Fingers the number is inconsequential. The story here is the NHA getting taken on.

Merely a bigger stick to threaten and then negotiate an a softer outcome...the NHRA don't even have the  marbles to fund a defence for starters....but they did put themselves in this predicament with a half arse ill conceived action.....and have only compromised what their intial aim was....I therefore predict a major compromise and some changes at the NHRA....

I see Easy wants to sue them for 700 million. If he's successful should I sue him for naming a slow horse after me?
