Esteemed guests included Sheikh Hamdan, the Crown Prince of Dubai, whose three-year-old racehorse, Hawwaam smashed his rivals in the 2019 renewal of the Grade 1 SA Classic over 1800m. Victoria Gin also showcased all of their best products to media and public, who enjoyed the offering in the racing.
