The Summer Cup is Johannesburg’s biggest horse race and it takes place on 30 November 2013. It has been run since 1887 and with R2 million in prize money it attracts the best horses in the country as well as a number of other important feature races that take place on the same day. The final entries for the field that close on 18 November 2013 and the Summer Cup field will be announced sometime today. I am hoping that the talented son of the very first horse that I owned, namely Sabina Park, makes the field. His name is Master Sabina – not a particularly original name but his father is Jet Master and his mother is Sabina Park and so it is a combination of the two and he really is an incredibly impressive looking horse. He would have been worth a small fortune if he had been sold on auction. I am sure that he will make the field, but also what is quite important is the starting day positions where one ultimately hopes to draw a number probably lower than 10 but ideally somewhere from about 2 to 7.

I don't know much about horse racing but I'd love to learn more. It would be so exciting going to the race course to watch the races.

Lately I have been interested in horse racing but I still do not quite understand it and would like to. I think my boyfriend has explained the summer cup, J&B Met & Durban July about 1000 times and I still do not understand. I think I am more interested in the social event than the actual racing itself. But well done and good luck for next week Satuday! Must be nice to be at the Summer cup, Must be nice.

I heard Master Sabina had an excellent run in Friday's Victory Moon Stakes and I really think the sky is the limit for this beautiful horse.

Winston Churchill once wrote "There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man". All the best of luck for Master Sabina

I am sure it would be really nice if he makes the field - a bit historical too to be involved in a race that dates way back. All the best for the day!

I will definitely have a flutter if Master Sabina makes the list. Every time I have wanted to play a horse and have not done so, they have come in. Will take a place on the horse.
