South African horseracing swings back into action this Monday 1 June with a 10-race meeting on the Greyville Polytrack in Durban.

Racing was given the all-clear from the South African government on Thursday following the decision to reduce the status of the Covid-19 lockdown from Level 4 to Level 3, which allows for the opening of non-contact sports.

The other races postponed from Champions Day will be run at Turffontein on Saturday 27 June, including the Grade 1 Premier’s Champions Challenge over 2000m, the Grade 1 Computaform Sprint over 1000m and the Grade 1 HSH Princess Charlene Empress Club Stakes over 1600m. Other feature races that day comprise the Grade 2 SA Nursery, SA Fillies Nursery and Camellia Stakes and the Grade 3 Gold Bowl for marathon runners over 3200m.

Racing returns to Greyville on Saturday 20 June when three feature events are carded, notably the Grade 2 WSB Greyville 1900. Kenilworth will stage the Grade 3 Variety Club Stakes over 1600m on Tuesday 9 June alongside three Listed races – the Sweet Chestnut Stakes over 1600m, and the Somerset 1200 and Perfect Promise Sprint, both over 1200m.
