Hollywoodbets Durban July Day – Crawford Racing Runners

Saturday the 04th of July 2026 has almost arrived. Despite being tinged with a touch of disappointment because of Star Major being scratched from the Hollywoodbets Durban July, Crawford Racing still have a trifecta of runners representing the stable on one of the highlights of the horse racing season in South Africa.

We preview these three horses in this insert, Otto Luyken, Royal Tiara and Mon Petit Cherie…writes Hadley Lakay.

It’s with disappointment that we announce STAR MAJOR will no longer take his place in the 2026 Hollywoodbets Durban July.

We were extremely confident going into the race, but after developing a slightly elevated temperature, we’ve made the decision to withdraw him. The horse’s welfare always comes first, and we also believe it would be unfair to the punting public to run him unless he was at his very best.

We know the quality STAR MAJOR possesses, and while this is a frustrating setback, we’re confident it’s only a minor bump in the road. His future remains incredibly bright, and we look forward to seeing him back on the track soon.

We’re off to Hollywoodbet Durbanville, Saturday 27 June. Visit our website to read our runner comments:

Woman’s World ( #1)
Woman’s World enters this Grade 3 feature in fine fettle, having won on the Highveld at her last start over a distance shorter than her optimum. She has a great draw of 1, an important factor over the Hollywoodbets Greyville circuit, even though the field must negotiate the marathon distance of 2400M. She travels down to Hollywoodbets Greyville following that determined victory at the Vaal on 21 May 2026 over 1600m, where she overcame a slow start to win going away by half a length under a polished ride by Mickaelle Michel.

Duchess of Paloma ( #4)
Duchess of Paloma is another representative from the Crawford Racing yard, and while she is currently priced at 10.00, there are several reasons to believe she could run better than her odds. Her form this year includes a gutsy win at the Vaal on 05 March over 1800m, where she strode away from the field to win well under Craig Zackey. While her last start at Greyville on 02 May saw her finish sixth, it is crucial to note that she was “in season” during that run, which most likely hindered her performance, finishing midfield.
