Kenilworth Racecourse

Kenilworth Racecourse is a horse-racing track in Kenilworth, Cape Town, South Africa. It opened in 1985, at the Rosmead Avenue.

History of Kenilworth Racecourse

1881 – The racecourse was established.

1882 – The turf was proclaimed.

1883 – The first race took place and was called the Metropolitan Mile.

1985 – The Kenilworth Racecourse Conservation Area (KRCA) was established, a seasonal wetland spanning about 52 hectares in the center of the racecourse’s borders.

2022 – Cape Racing’s Racecourse (the Kenilworth and Durbanville racecourses) was renamed Hollywoodbets Kenilworth Racecourse and Hollywoodbets Durbanville Racecourse. The deal was worth R330 million in July 2022 when Kenilworth Racing was experiencing severe liquidity and cash flow constraints and effectively facing the prospect of ceasing operations at an enormous cost to jobs and with collateral reputational damage to South African racing.

2023 – The ownership of the Hollywoodbets was transferred to the Cape horseracing. Moreover, in addition to the initial loan funding of R64 million, it will inject R200 million for several capital projects to uplift and improve facilities. Hollywoodbets’ ownership will ensure that thousands of jobs in and around the horseracing industry are maintained and secured.
