The Vodacom Durban July is said to have brought in over R220-million in direct spend into the local economy - largely contributed by thousands of Gauteng visitors who have made their way into the city.  

Power King raced home first to win the 2015 title while Punta Arenas finished in second and Telina, third.

Themed "The Captain's Table", celebrities and horseracing enthusiasts strutted their Saturday best at the Greyville Racecourse.

See photos of some of the best looks here.
