Betway Summer Cup:
Silks in The City - where racing heritage meets urban sophistication.

Everyone can look forward to a day filled with phenomenal high-quality horseracing, fashion, and top-tier entertainment, making this year's Summer Cup the best yet.
"We are excited to present
Silks in The City as our theme for the Betway Summer Cup 2024. This theme perfectly captures the elegance of horseracing and the vibrant energy of Johannesburg - the home of Turffontein racecourse. Horseracing silks are symbols of pride and heritage and are reflected in this year’s Summer Cup logo - which pays homage to the previous five winners of this historic event. In this great city, we are diverse and also immensely proud. We encourage everyone to show off their individual style at the Betway Summer Cup 2024," said Fundi Sithebe, Chief Executive Officer of 4Racing.
Supporting the event since 2022, headline sponsor Betway will continue as the official partner of the Summer Cup. “Horseracing forms a key part of our South African sports sponsorships - alongside rugby, cricket and golf. As we enter our third year of the sponsorship, we are thrilled to once again partner with 4Racing for the 137
th running of the Betway Summer Cup. We look forward to seeing the best horses in the country battle it out at Turffontein on 30 November.
