A wide range of entertainment at the Sansui Summer Cup

A day at the races in Joburg during the middle of a gorgeous summer is always glamourous and fun. The nation's racing operators recognise that the Sport of Kings needs to keep abreast of the times to attract a new generation, so they're providing modern punters with what they want: pop-up gourmet food stalls, craft beer, fashion, and live musical entertainment from SA's best performers.

What makes this experience unlike any other day out is the occasion, the glorious Gauteng Sansui Summer Cup at the historic Turffontein Racecourse. This equestrian and fashion affair is the City of Gold's foremost horse race, with a legacy of entertaining the crowds and equine fans for over 128 years.

Serving up gourmet dishes from a number of the city's best food trucks, beer on tap, delicious wine and a host of summer cocktails - the Summer Garden will keep guests entertained from morning till night, when the official Sound Experience after-party kicks off as the sun begins to set.

Prime location

Enjoying a prime location right next to the parade ring, race-goers can admire the horses close up, chat to owners and trainers, and, for those who have never experienced a day at the races, there are race guides and betting assistants for beginners.

Taryn Rautenbach, from Megapro Holdings, the event organiser of the Gauteng Sansui Summer Cup said: "We are continually adapting and targeting a new market for racing and want to give a new audience a chance to enjoy the sport that we are all so passionate about."

The wide range of entertainment, and the late November date, makes the experience perfect for corporates looking to enjoy an awesome year end.
