Terrence Millard.... Back in those days racing went by seasons in the various provinces. In Natal it was from the drill hall stakes to the gold cup. I think about April to August every year?? And Millard would come with his crop and boy was he successful. Truly amazing trainer.
The Durban July is the South African equivalent of races like the King George and Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot, Caulfield Cup, H E Tancred Stakes at Rosehill and the Prix de l'Arc De Triomphe at Longchamp even though it's a furlong shorter at 1m 3f/2.2km/2200m than the European and Australian equivalents which are 1m 4f/2.4km/2400m
