Johannesburg, South Africa — As South African racing welcomes the start of a new breeding and racing season, 4Racing’s popular daily racing and betting show, Weighted To Win, is set to return with a fresh new identity under the sponsorship of World Sports Betting (WSB).
Launching its new look on 1 August, Weighted To Win will unveil a refreshed studio, updated branding and enhanced on-screen experience, while continuing to deliver the expert racing analysis, betting insight and engaging discussion that viewers have come to rely on. The programme will continue to be fronted by respected racing personalities Clyde Basel and Darryl Maree, broadcasting both from the studio and live from racecourses around the country.
The relaunch marks the next chapter in an enduring relationship between 4Racing and World Sports Betting. Since 2016, WSB has been a committed 4Racing partner through its sponsorship of flagship events including the WSB Grand Heritage and the East Cape Derby. The extension of that partnership into Weighted To Win further reflects both organisations’ shared commitment to growing the sport, enhancing the fan experience and making racing more accessible to new and existing audiences.
“Weighted To Win has become an important part of the daily racing conversation, providing viewers with trusted analysis and informed betting perspectives,” said 4Racing CEO, Patrick Duff. “We’re excited to build on our longstanding relationship with World Sports Betting as we usher in a new era for the show. The timing couldn’t be better, with the start of the new racing season providing the perfect opportunity to introduce a fresh new look while maintaining the quality content our audience expects.”
The show has established itself as a go-to destination for racing enthusiasts seeking expert tips, form analysis and informed debate ahead of each day’s racing action. The refreshed format will retain these core strengths while introducing a contemporary visual identity that reflects the energy and excitement of the modern racing landscape.
Ryno Du Plessis, Group Chief Operating officer for World Sports Betting calls the partnership ‘a match made in heaven’. “As Punters, we have all gotten into the routine of starting our day with Clyde and Darryl and as a bookmaker with a deeply rooted love for racing, we are ecstatic to be partnering with the duo. WSB has always taken immense pride on our race offerings from early betting to free streaming and of course our racing promotions. Weighted To Win is a new platform for us to share the best of WSB with the racing public.”
The first on-course edition of the newly branded Weighted To Win will air on Saturday, 1 August, live from Turffontein Racecourse, beginning one hour before the first race. Hosted by Clyde Basel, Darryl Maree, Steven Karam and Piere Strydom, the show marks the start of an exciting new season of daily horse racing coverage, expert analysis and betting insights.
