World Pool Gold Cup Day

Record-breaking betting pools are anticipated at the 2025 World Pool Gold Cup race meeting, taking place on Sunday, 27 July. Every race at Hollywoodbets Greyville Racecourse will form part of the World Pool, with Win, Place, Exacta, Quinella, and Swinger bets all commingled into international pools. With average World Pool totals expected to soar, punters can look forward to Exacta pools reaching up to R3 million, Win and Place pools of up to R10 million, and Swinger and Quinella pools potentially exceeding R15 million! These global pools are commingled by the Hong Kong Jockey Club. (Please note: Place bets on all races that day will pay out on the first three horses past the post only.)

The curtain comes down on the 2024/2025 South African feature racing season in spectacular style this Sunday, 27 July, with the highly anticipated World Pool Gold Cup Day at Hollywoodbets Greyville. Celebrated as the grand finale of the season, this prestigious raceday is a showcase of elite racing talent, exhilarating competition, and international betting excitement.

With 10 feature races scheduled on the card, the day boasts a stellar lineup that includes four Grade 1 races, three Grade 2s, one Grade 3, and two Listed races.

The spotlight will undoubtedly fall on the iconic Grade 3 World Pool Gold Cup, a true test of stamina over 3,200m, drawing the country’s best stayers to battle it out for ultimate glory. The supporting Grade 1 features will provide top-class action across sprint and middle-distance divisions, giving racegoers and punters alike a feast of quality racing from start to finish. We will once again see 2025 Hollywoodbets Durban July Winner, The Real Prince, compete in the HKJC Champions Cup just three weeks after his spectacular win.
