Please note!

The remainder of the meeting at Hollywoodbets Durbanville (Races 4 to 9) on Wednesday, 24 July 2024 has been abandoned.

Despite the track being deemed suitable for racing after gallops this morning, the jockeys felt that the track had deteriorated since the non-stop rainfall experienced this morning.

In the interests of the safety of horses and riders, a decision was taken to abandon the remainder of the race meeting.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
