About 4Racing

A modern home for an ancient sport.

Founded in 2020, 4Racing operates four racecourses across South Africa — the venues, meetings and experiences that shape the country's racing life.

Who we are.

Racing, reimagined — and built to last.

4Racing is a South African horse racing and entertainment company, licensed by the Gauteng Gambling Board and the Mpumalanga Economic Regulator. We operate Turffontein, Fairview and the Vaal — the home of the sport for millions of South Africans, and a stage for some of the country’s most enduring cultural traditions.
