Exciting Racing/Betting Markets

You can kick off your horse racing bets with the popular favourite and 2nd favourite markets. These simple markets are based on the starting price of each horse and as they suggest your selection would be the favourite or 2nd favourite horse to win the race; a pretty straight forward wager!

An Each Way (E/W) bet entails two separate bets: one predicting the horse to win and the other anticipating it to place. Since it comprises two bets, you must double your stake. A payout is awarded if your chosen horse clinches victory or secures a place in their run.

In addition to these staple horse racing markets, Sportingbet offers some key insights into each horse and race. Scroll through each race to find out details like the weight, age and ‘days since last run’ of each horse. Bettors can also browse through details of each horse’s recent performances; informed betting is fun betting!

While the Cape Town Met promises excitement, it's essential to bet responsibly. Set a budget, stick to it, and remember that betting should be fun, not stressful. If you ever feel that your betting habits are becoming problematic, seek help immediately.

Whether you are backing the favourite or the outsider; prepare to witness all the glory with Sportingbet SA and may your horse racing betting bring you all the excitement and thrills throughout this grand event!
