It was billed as one of the best racecards ever assembled in South Africa and the L'Ormarins King's Plate meeting at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth lived up to the hype.
The 10-race card saw some of the best horses in the land take their places, especially in the three Grade 1 events - the L'Ormarins King's Plate, the World Pool Cape Flying Championships and the Cartier Paddock Stakes for fillies and mares.
