2026 World Sports Betting Cape Town Met – Winners & Highlights
The 2026 World Sports Betting Cape Town Met (Gr 1) delivered a breathtaking display of racing excellence, with Andrew Fortune guiding See It Again to a memorable victory over 2000m. The six-year-old thoroughbred carved a path through a competitive field, holding off the persistent 33/1 outsider, Legal Counsel, by three-quarters of a length in a dramatic finale.
The Real Prince surged impressively from the rear but tired in the closing stages to finish third, while early leader Okavango managed a respectable fourth in a race that unfolded at a strategic, testing pace. Justin Snaith orchestrated a masterclass from his stable, claiming first, second and fourth places on an outstanding day for Snaith Racing.
A Remarkable Owner Record
The victorious See It Again is owned by Mr N Jonsson, who has now accomplished a phenomenal feat: winning the Cape Town Met four consecutive years with four different horses. Previous champions include Eight on Eighteen (2025), Double Superlative (2024), and Jet Dark (2023). Jonsson called the achievement “an impossible dream,” and it was realised in spectacular fashion.
Double Triumph for Andrew Fortune
Fortune’s prowess didn’t end there. Earlier in the card, he steered Double Grand Slam from a wide draw into a stalking position before making a decisive move along the stand-side rail to claim the 1600m Maine Chance Farms Majorca Stakes (WFA) Gr 1, delighting punters and punishing the favourite’s challengers in style.
