I have decided to hide this cache around the Dunblane Equestrian and Lifestyle Estate. This estate caters for the equestrian and horse lovers. This mistery cache will therefore test your knowledge on a major horse racing event in South Africa seeing that it has been placed close to this magnificent estate.

Durban July Race History

The Durban July Handicap is a South African Thoroughbred horse race held annually on the first Saturday of July since 1897 at Greyville Racecourse in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. Raced on turf, the Durban July Handicap is open to horses of all ages. It is South Africa's premier horse racing event and currently offers a purse of R2.5 million (app. US$360,000).

First held in July 1897 at a distance of 1 mile (approximately 1600m), the distance was modified several times until 1970 when it was changed to its current 2200 meters.

 

Stage 1: Get the answers to the questions.

A = The last letter of the first name of the trainer with the most wins in the Durban July.

B = The first (1) letter of the jockey’s nickname with the most wins in the Durban July. He won the   last time in 1955.

C = The first (1) letter of the horse who won the Durban July back-to-back in 1949 and 1950.

D = The third (3) letter of the name of the horse that won the Durban July in 1986.
