World Sports Betting Cape Fillies Guineas 2025 – Final Field Announced
Saturday, 6 December 2025 | Hollywoodbets Kenilworth | Grade 1 | 1600m
One of the most prestigious days on the Cape racing calendar is fast approaching, and excitement is building as the final field for the 2025 World Sports Betting Cape Fillies Guineas (Grade 1) has now been confirmed.
Run over 1600m at Kenilworth, the Fillies Guineas stands as an essential stepping stone for South Africa’s best three-year-old fillies — and a race that has consistently produced future champions.
This year is especially significant, marking the 11th consecutive year of WSB’s partnership with the race — one of the longest-running Grade 1 sponsorships in the country. The Fillies Guineas has become synonymous with high-quality racing, elite talent, and the launch of future stars.
A Star-Studded Line-Up for 2025
The final field of 12 runners brings together Cape Town’s rising stars and raiders from around the country, headed by Golden Palm, Alan Greeff’s exceptional filly from Gqeberha.
Golden Palm has been nothing short of dominant — winning five of her six starts, including both a Grade 1 and Grade 2. Her explosive turn of foot makes her a deserving early favourite and one of the most exciting WSB Fillies Guineas contenders in years.
Adding to the intrigue is the return of former South African Champion Jockey Keagan de Melo, flying in from Hong Kong for his first local Grade 1 ride since returning home. He will partner Golden Palm as she looks to claim the biggest title of her career.
Alongside her, a competitive group of Cape-based challengers and lightly-raced improvers will ensure that nothing comes easy on the day.
