The Dundee July 2024, themed the “African Jewel” dazzled in suitable fashion showcasing some of South Africa’s finest beauty, culture and fashion to accompany the rural horse racing showcase in perfect conditions at the Endumeni Horse Racing Track in Dundee.
MEC Rev. Musa Zondi and a number of dignitaries graced the event, adding much prestige to the day.
SportPesa and Ithotho are proud sponsors of the Dundee July and were thrilled to be a part of the special day, with a stand in one of the main tents there was an opportunity to enjoy the racing with all the shareholders and partners that make this special day the highlight of the rural horse racing calendar.
Prize giving for the SportPesa sponsored 8th race on the day.
Ithotho and SportPesa, in addition to sponsoring one of the races, gave out much-needed horse blankets to the first three horses past the post in every race on the day. We were also honoured to be able to help keep the staff at the Coastal Horse Care Unit warm in the icy cold winter conditions with some Ithotho puffer jackets.
The rest of the day was full of glitz and glamour, with an amazing fashion show gracing the runway and the Dundee crowd shining in their own vast array of colours and fashion.
Melusi Gamede from Mondlo in Vryheid landed the impressive R350,000 prize for the Dundee July main race with his horse Mbayi Mbayi delighting the fans with a great run that delighted to the spectators.
The Dundee July was a huge success and we strongly recommend putting the third Saturday in July in your calendar for 2025!
