Few racing events hold the prestige that the J&B Met has to offer, and Cape Town’s 2016 showpiece event is set to deliver a mouthwatering racing and lifestyle display yet again.
For the Grade 1 R2.5 million J&B Met over 2000m at Kenilworth, racing fans have the tantalising prospect of 2015’s run-away winner, Futura, matching up against his stable companion (and winner of the 2014 Durban July), Legislate. If that’s not enough for you, then add 2015’s SA Derby winner, Legal Eagle, to the mix as the highest rated horse to sign up and you’d be bonkers to pass this one up.
HF Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut scorer, Captain America (the recent winner of the Grade 2 Lanzerac Green Point), will represent Brett Crawford, who coincidentally trained Futura when he won in 2015’s Met.
