For too long, people on the outside were not included in these various event perspectives, and we aim to transform this completely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe rejuvenation project, driven by the vision of Cape Racing\u2019s Chair Greg Bortz, and Hollywoodbets owner and founder, Owen Heffer, who have collectively invested millions of rands into the industry and property over the last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Single events are held at the legacy property and oldest racecourse in South Africa, such as the crowned Cape Town MET diamond event held in February. These boost the local economy with an estimated half-a-billion rand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More and bigger events, like the Ultra Festival, will call Kenilworth their home, as long as event owners and organisers adhere to the stringent by-laws and internal rules and regulations of the racecourse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This prompted excitement from Ward 58 councillor Katherine Christie, adding: \u201cI believe we need to balance the benefits of the events at the racecourse to our economy, and especially youth employment, with temporary and momentary inconvenience to residents when it comes to noise. I found that the majority of my residents are happy with the events set to take place, it\u2019s the few that complain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She appeals of \u201cthe few\u201d to tolerate the slight inconvenience of one or two events that become noisy, \u201cin consideration of the benefits to our local economy and people who need jobs\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_73ee5d60\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/10292\/72c2640f0b7e475b88c13f79737c449f.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/peoplespost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/e1fdf00876d14499a35b6774eedd8146.jpg\" title=\"Everitt endeavours to reinvent the racecourse in a recourse from an industry in \u201cdire straits\u201d as he, frankly, put it. \u201cI want the surrounding community to be exposed to horse racing and bring racing back to the forefront.\u201d \"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Everitt endeavours to reinvent the racecourse in a recourse from an industry in \u201cdire straits\u201d as he, frankly, put it. \u201cI want the surrounding community to be exposed to horse racing and bring racing back to the forefront.\u201d <\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hollywood-park-open-seven-days-a-week\">Hollywood Park: Open seven-days-a-week<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to a brand-new team of executives and managing staff, business at Kenilworth Racecourse will be an all-rounder property operating seven-days-a-week catering to the wider public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis will now be run as a multipurpose property in the heart of the Southern Suburbs as a site open for public recreation in a park format,\u201d introduced Everitt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the past year\u2019s vision saw phase one of renovations that prepared the property for the racing season from November through to February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese rejuvenations seek to create new interests into racing for owners, breeders and trainers because, without them, we don\u2019t exist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnother spin-off was formulated as we looked at the industry of groomers, trainers and breeders. This led us to formulate stimulation incentive packages to promote owners and horse breeding to get more horses on the course.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the takeover of the racecourse, a total of 720 horses have increased to 1 200 horses over the past year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor every one horse on the course, an average of 20 people are employed in the industry. It\u2019s important to increase the horse population, as well as increase the owners\u2019 experience as it\u2019s vital to the growth of the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everitt and his teams work hard to ensure upgraded world-class facilities to offer open recreational experiences to reposition the racecourse\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\"

at overseas ventures promoting \u2018sportainment\u2019 in which a multitude of sports, like pedalling, will be introduced into one ecosystem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeside being the oldest racecourse, the ecosystem of Kenilworth\u2019s Conservation Area is rated higher than that of Kirstenbosch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where Cape Racing seeks to introduce fitness spaces, running and biking courses, and a dog park \u201cto be an extension of the community\u2019s homes and lifestyle\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is how Everitt detailed the resurrection of horse racing with the racecourse\u2019s multipurpose plans in offering the community more, bigger and better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, Christie had this to say: \u201cThe community will benefit massively from the new and improved park that\u2019s about to be developed on their doorstep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCape Racing is currently at the beginning stages of the necessary procedures and processes of planning with the City of Cape Town, and the community will be kept informed as we move through the various stages of our compliances.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cResidents will now have 24\/7 access to a space they will be able to enjoy with their children and dogs \u2013 for free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a win-win!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The stirring hustle and bustle
