The Durbanville Cup run at Kenilworth Racecourse on Tuesday, 28 November 2006, formed the 1st leg of the Western Cape Bookmaker's Association Cape Summer Stayers Series.
The winner of the race KIPKETER now has an opportunity to earn an additional R150 000 bonus (up from R100 000 last year) if he manages to win the remaining two legs of the series, the Cape Stayers Handicap on 23 December 2006, and the J&B Reserve Stayers Handicap on J&B Met Day, 27 January 2007.
It's a long way to go, but the bookmakers know their oats and it would not be odd to see Kipketer stay 'top of the boards' for both forthcoming events.
