Horseracing in South Africa
South Africa is home to seven different racetracks – Kenilworth and Durbanville in the Western Cape, Turffontein and the Vaal in Gauteng, Greyville and Scottsville – which are based in KwaZulu-Natal and Fairview in the Eastern Cape.
Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape are the main racing centres and all South Africa’s Grade One races are held in these three centres, focused on turf tracks. Greyville, which hosts a number of meetings at night, and Fairview, also sport polytrack courses, with the polytrack having first been introduced to Durban in 2014.
