Windhoek \u2014 The annual July Handicap Horse Racing is one of the most cherished rituals in the Otjozondjupa Region.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow’s race promises to be a real humdinger with close to 50 horses and riders expected to flock to the state-of-the-art racetrack at Otjomapenda for the 4th edition of the Otjomapenda Racing Club at Farm Dankbaar near Okozonduzu.<\/p>\n

The fast growing and popular racing meet kicks off tomorrow with no less than five thoroughbred stake races, featuring the talent-laden Black n Blue of Hendrik van Niekerk and Yes Yes Yes of Marks Kahuikee, as well as Le Blues of Uaraa Tjiho from Ovitoto.<\/p>\n

Yes Yes Yes is the clear favourite in the shorter distance of 1 800 meters, but could face some stiff competition from the likes of Hitler of Gerson Kandjii (Otjinene) and Moses Kandjoze’s Rocket.<\/p>\n

The one-day event gets underway with the Crossbreed 1 000-meter race to be followed by the Farmer Horse category (1000 meters) and the much sought after Thoroughbred category – covering a distance of 1 000 meters, in that order.<\/p>\n

Race four will see horses competing in the Maiden Section over 1 200 meters with subsequent races in the gruelling 2 000 meters and the more exciting shorter 800-meter Maiden Race.<\/p>\n

The highlight of the day is doubtlessly Race 8, featuring thoroughbred horses over a distance of 1 800 meters.<\/p>\n

In the absence of a recognized official sponsor, event organizers have dug deep into their pockets and donated a total of N$40,000 for the winners in their respective categories.<\/p>\n

Apart from the cash prizes, three cows will also be at stake for the overall top achievers.<\/p>\n

The proceedings will be under the supervision of track announcer, Stanley Tjozongoro, who will keep spectators abreast with full details on the racehorses and their respective riders.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Youth, National Service, Sport & Culture, Kazenambo Kazenambo, will be among some of the expected high-profile dignitaries.<\/p>\n
