#TheTakeOffInterview| For the first time in the event’s 124-year history, Vodacom Durban July goes online for the 2020 edition
Known as Africa’s Greatest Horseracing Event, the Vodacom Durban July (VDJ) usually attracts thousands of eager punters and fashionistas to Durban’s Greyville Racecourse, but the current lockdown measures have seen organisers change things up a bit.
Given the reality of the present circumstances, the race meeting will be staged behind closed doors and without spectators.
The final field for this year’s Vodacom Durban July has been announced, giving punters plenty of time to work out their top picks and back their favourites. This year’s prize money totals R4.25 million with the winner taking around R2.5 million, second- place R800 000, third-place R400 000 and fourth-place R200 000.
