As eyes of millions of people are glued to their TV screens watching the Durban July horse race,<\/a> some have came personally to witness the event.<\/p>\n

Punters are among those who are optimistic that today might be their lucky day.<\/p>\n

Some of the punters dressed to the nines are betting for their favourite horses to win the race.<\/p>\n

Peter Koekemoer and Pat Govender are among the punters.<\/p>\n

They say although it’s too early to determine whether they will make a profit or not, they hope today’s race will change their fortunes.<\/p>\n

“We have to come here and play horses in Durban July. This is the first race and at the moment it’s not going well but I am enjoying it and the race proves every time and it’s going well and I am enjoying it.”<\/p>\n

“It’s amazing really and it’s so good, the crowd the atmosphere and I am regular punter, yes we make little but I am not here to make a lot of money and when the tickets come in we make R20 or R30 and it’s good.”<\/p>\n

It’s a Sid Moodley exacta as both his horses fight tooth and nail out at the finish with MADISON VALLEY edging out his stable companion to win the DStv Gold Vase <\/p>\n
