Hollywoodbets Gold Challenge 2022 | Runners, Betting & Odds For Africa's Second Richest Race

The prestigious Hollywoodbets Gold Challenge 2022 takes place on Saturday 11 June at Hollywoodbets Greyville Racecourse, where a sterling lineup of Grade 1 winners will run a mile (1600m) to compete for R1 250 000. In fact, this race has grown in stature to become South Africa's richest race after the Durban July.

What's more, the Gold Challenge presents the perfect opportunity for contenders to earn an entry into the upcoming Hollywoodbets Durban July. Typically, horses that run well in the Hollywoodbets Gold Challenge are also major contenders in the Durban July, where the stakes couldn't be higher!
