The biggest horse race in South Africa takes place today, with the 2024 Durban July set to go off at Greyville at 3:00pm (BST). A huge stakes purse of R5m will be up for grabs at Greyville on this Saturday and the market has seen a shake-up since we published our last update on Thursday.

Here's a look at the Durban July betting and a glance through some of the headline entries. Odds were updated at 8:00am on July 6th.

2024 Durban July Entries


Green With Envy was as short as 2/1 to win this year's Durban July. Dean Kannemeyer's star three-year-old will be looking to land a five-timer when he returns to Greyville in July, having registered back-to-back Grade One wins in the WSB Guineas and the Daily News 2000 this month.

On Thursday, we reported that money had arrived for defending champion Winchester Mansion, who was backed into 12/1 from 16s. On Friday, one of this year's three-year-old crop, Barbaresco was backed off the boards, with his price halving after a sustained 48 hours of support.

Last year's runner-up, See It Again has been very weak in the betting this past week. On Tuesday, Mike Roberts' star was the joint 9/2 favourite, but See It Again has slipped out to 7/1 as of this morning. After Without Question was scratched from the race, Hluhluwe took his spot in the field and Rachel Venniker's new mount can be backed at 25/1 with Hollywoodbets.

Future Swing edged out Oriental Charm to land the WSB 1900 at Greyville last month. Oriental Charm boosted that form by winning the Dolphin's Cup Trial next time out and remains solid in the market. Future Swing did shorten into 6/1, but has drifted out to 10s over the past 24 hours. 

Nathan Kotzen will be represented by Royal Victory, who beat Winchester Mansion in the Champions Challenge, having already landed the Summer Cup this season. Three-year-old Flag Man shot up the Durban July betting after losing out to Green With Envy by a short-head in the Daily News, but has drifted a touch in recent days. 

British jockey, Danny Muscutt will reprise his Cape Town Met-winning partnership with Double Superlative. Regular Group One runners Cousin Casey, Aragosta and Future Pearl also feature in the field. Purple Pitcher bolsters the three-year-old contingent.
