Summer's Here: The Sansui Summer Cup

Have I ever told you that my grandpa was a jockey? In fact, he was a really good jockey. Despite being one of the tallest (and heaviest) jockeys the country has ever seen, he won the title at the Durban July and the Met and when he passed away the horse racing channel aired an homage to his career.

If he was still alive and racing, I would have loved to see him take the title at Joburg's biggest race, the Sansui Summer Cup. It's the oldest and most respected first-grade horse race, hosting its first run in 1887.
Sansui shot this fun video to highlight jockeys and Joburgers' similarities. I'm pretty sure my pappa could have out-driven these guys too.
