SoccerShop horse racing

What is offered

The racing hub lists today's and tomorrow's meetings from South Africa's major tracks — Turffontein, Kenilworth, Durbanville, Scottsville, Greyville, the Vaal and others — alongside international cards. Bet types follow the South African tradition: win and place, each-way equivalents through swinger and exacta-style exotics, and multiples linking horses across races. Tote-style pools and fixed-odds markets have both appeared on the platform at different times, with the product mix evolving season to season.

Rules that matter to racing punters

• Scratchings — deductions apply to winning bets when a runner is withdrawn; the deduction scale is published in the rules.
• Dead heats — stakes are split in accordance with standard dead-heat conventions, reducing returns proportionally.
• Objections and stewards' enquiries — bets are settled on the official result after weigh-in, not the provisional finish.
• Ante-post — future bets stand regardless of subsequent withdrawals unless the offer says otherwise.
• Payout caps — racing carries its own maximum-payout table, distinct from sports and lucky numbers; large exotic multiples should be checked against it.

Racing in the branches

One genuine differentiator of the SoccerShop network is that racing knowledge exists offline too. Branch staff in the older shops cut their teeth on race cards, and regulars still discuss form over the counter. If you are the kind of punter who likes a printed card and a conversation before committing, the branch catalogue on this site lists every outlet.

Greyhounds

Greyhound cards from local and international tracks round out the offering, with the same win/place/exotic structure. Coverage is lighter than the thoroughbred product but reliable, and it integrates with the same betslip, cash-out and account balance as the rest of the sportsbook.
