On Saturday December 17th at 15h40, 15 of SA's best 3yo Colts and gelding will line up at the 1600m mark @ Hollywoodbets Kenilworth Racecourse, in a bid to see who is KING. Mike de Kock who is the winning most visiting trainer sets the scene for us. Remember Horse Chestnut, Domino Man, Flight Alert, Noa From Goa and Socrat. He send two top milers from Gauteng to take on Charles Dickens, Cousin Casey and the rest.
Betway have come to the party, big time, with injections of sponsorship, bonus cheques for winning trainers and incentives for grooms at grass roots level. Their bonuses to grooms have been a game-changer for us. Their spring series and the R5-million sponsorship of the Summer Cup is an indication of their commitment and that gives me hope for the future.
If you’ve met Betway’s Jonathan Blumberg you will know how passionate he is about lifting racing in the 4Racing regions to higher levels. He is part of a dynamic team led by CEO Laurence Michel, who is incidentally also capable golfer when he is away from his office desk. They have a genuine desire to assist owners, trainers and grooms in the 4Racing territories, and they’re in line with Mary Slack’s objectives to develop racing from its grass roots.
Let’s give credit where it’s due. And, if you haven’t opened an account with Betway yet, you can do so here, support racing via the tote and enjoy their excellent online betting platform.

Tamar has had a love for horses her whole life. Spending her childhood years in a busy and competitive stable yard, taught Tamar all she needed to know about running a yard of her own. Receiving tuition from one of South Africa’s top-ranking riders - Barry Taylor, Tamar opened Farnham Riding School & Livery Yard with the plan in mind to offer a top quality tuition and livery service.
Tamar is a SANEF level 2 qualified instructor and received the highly recognised qualification of FEI level 1 coach in 2011 and completed Level 2 in 2012. Tamar specialises in competitive riders and teaches with great enthusiasm, with the focus being on horse and rider being a team to achieve their personal goals. The success of Tamar’s pupils speaks for itself and her dedication and passion for the sport and her clients is obvious in the consistent results they achieve.
Tamar competes at 1m50 level and has had a very successful career. Tamar has competed in the South African Derby, as well as most World Cup Qualifier shows around South Africa, Her highlight to date is winning the very prestigious Nissan 6-Bar Event in 2014, clearing the jump at 1m77 on her pride and joy, Toko.
After taking time off from riding (She remained coaching) after a knee operation and to have her first child, she is now back in the saddle bringing on many competitive young horses. Of note are Con Alma, a 5year old Warmblood jumping in the 1,10m classes, Cosmo K, a 6 year old Warmblood jumping in the 1.20m classes, and the now infamous little thoroughbred, Outeniqua (or Pocket Rocket as he is called on the SJ Circuit) on whom Tamar competes successfully in the 1.35/1.40m classes.
Tamar is a keen and savvy business woman, very dedicated to her sport and spends hours in the saddle learning and growing with her horses. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for show jumping makes her a great ambassador for our Equi-Feeds brand.
