2026 Durban July Betting Tips
More news
The 2026 Durban July promises to be another high-quality feature at Greyville and it’s never too early to sort through the form.
Eight On Eighteen was expected to claim an easy victory in the 2025 Durban July, but the short-priced favourite was turned over by The Real Prince, who won for Craig Zackey and Dean Kannemeyer.
The Real Prince will not be defending his title after being removed from the race at the second declaration stage along with See It More.
That leaves Star Major and Note To Self as the two favourites for the 2026 Durban July.
