THE stage is set, the turf is primed, and the beats are ready to drop!
Zimbabwe’s most iconic horse-racing showdown — the Castle Tankard Blue Sapphire Edition — gallops into Borrowdale Racecourse on Saturday, May 10, and it’s bringing the heat!
Celebrating a glittering 65 years of turf action, this year’s Tankard promises to be a showstopper both on and off the racecourse. With a whopping US$50 000 in stakes and regional horse-racing royalty competing for glory, all eyes will be on the finish line.
But it’s not just about fast hooves — it’s about fast beats too!
Musical giants Alick Macheso, Enzo Ishall, Oriyano, Delroy Shewe, Nisha T, and the Chillspot Family are locked in to bring the fire with live performances that will have fans dancing between races.
From ice-cold Castle beers to sizzling braais and electric vibes, the Castle Tankard is shaping up to be the ultimate fusion of sport, music, and celebration.
Blue Sapphire edition — where horses race and stars blaze!
