Has the July lost it`s razzle?

I made the mistake of watching the Teletrack version which was poor - When I switched to SABC it was far more entertaining

May have lost some sparkle but WAY WAY out in front as the country's biggest betting splurge.

That's even without the well-heeled and posh -joshes that make the pilgrimage to our shores in our Summer, one or two even putting pen to paper in racing publications giving the full report of their fun in the sun.

Durban July will always be a peoples event. [SAD for some?].

I switched to SABC. My wife wanted to watch the fashion.

Shan Ip was good. Or he wasnt. Or he was. Or he wasn't. Was. Wasn't. I think he was.
