We are now just days away from the 129th edition of Africa’s greatest horse race, the Hollywoodbets Durban July to be held on Saturday, 5 July.

RELATED | Every previous Hollywoodbets Durban July winner since 1897
The race was rocked by a late scratching on Tuesday morning when Michael Roberts’s See It Again was withdrawn due to an abnormal blood count.
See It Again was the joint fifth favourite at 16/1.
First reserve runner, Litigation, from the Sean Tarry yard will take the place of See It Again and will jump from gate 15.
Litigation will be ridden by Grant van Niekerk.
