FINAL LOG FOR THE R6 MILLION 2024 BETWAY SUMMER CUP
7 months 3 days ago
4Racing in conjunction with the Handicappers have published the final log for the 2024 R6 million Gr1 Betway Summer Cup set to be run at Turffontein Racecourse on Saturday 30 November.
There have been no changes to the top three, with Equus Horse Of The Year DAVE THE KING still topping the log ahead of SEE IT AGAIN who registered an impressive victory in his preparation in a 1600m Pinnacle Stakes at Greyville on Sunday where he beat the third log horse and defending 2023 Summer Cup winner ROYAL VICTORY.After a solid return to form winning the OnAMission Chairty Mile, 2023 Durban July winner WINCHESTER MANSION climbed four places and is fourth on the log, followed by MAIN DEFENDER in fifth
The scratchings of COUSIN CASEY (4th Log 1) and FLAG MAN (7th Log 1) have allowed LITIGATION AND ZEUS to enter the top 20. Also scratched from the first log are RAISEAHALLELUJAH and JORDAN.
It is worth noting that 11 of the 14 carded runners in this weekend’s, 09 November, Betway Victory Moon Stakes (Grade 3) are entered in the Betway Summer Cup. All of MAIN DEFENDER, PURPLE PITCHER, PUERTO MANZANO, PURE PREDATOR, FUTURE PEARL, ATTICUS FINCH, SAFE PASSAGE and MY SOUL MATE appear in the top 20, while ARAGOSTA, SHOEMAKER and THUNEE PLAYA are vying for their place in Africa’s Richest Race. It will certainly give an indication of how these runners are shaping up ahead of the big day.
Final entries at 9am on Monday, 18 November 2024, after which weights will be announced. Declarations must be in by 11am on Wednesday, 20 November 2024 and barrier draws will be conducted at a Betway event on 20 November 2024.

Dave The King was not persisted with over the last 300m in Saturday’s Gr ASSM Onamission Charity Mile at Turffontein, and jockey Richard Fourie reported that he felt something amiss.The course veterinarian found after the race that Dave The King was not striding out on his left hind leg, which explains what Richard may have felt. Mike de Kock commented: “Dave The King is an extremely sound horse so this was very uncharacteristic. He was just slightly off behind, not serious and it was hard to make a judgement post-race. He was given anti-inflammatories today (Sunday), and on Monday will be fully checked out by a veterinarian. We will report back
appoligies. my commnet was based on the info above from MDK website.
If I am gonna back the horse for Summer Cup, would be nice to know what was found.
The MR increase of Winchester Mansion is nuts. Atbest he ran 126. Silver Sacntuary a better line horse.
Not striding out left hind, per stipes report.
