TOP entertainers Alick Macheso, Enzo Ishall, Chillsport, Nisha Ts, Oriyano and Delroy Shewe will headline entertainers at this year’s 65th Castle Tankard race scheduled for Saturday, where a race involving 16 horses will see a lucky gambler walking away US$50 000 richer.
Speaking at a final acceptance event held at Borrowdale Racecourse in Harare recently, Kundai Mawema, Castle Lager marketing manager, confirmed Delta Beverages’ readiness for the 2025 Castle Tankard horse race.
This year’s event holds special significance for Castle Lager, as the brand celebrates 130 years of brewing excellence.
It will be running under the theme The Legacy Continues.
Mawema said the Castle Tankard was Africa’s oldest sponsored horse race in conjunction with the Mashonaland Turf Club and has over the years been one of the most widely followed sporting and entertainment event.
“We celebrate 130 years of great moments of refreshing generations and of building bonds across communities both locally and within the region,” she said.
“This milestone speaks to our rich heritage, resilience, passion and unwavering commitment to quality.
“Our theme for this year celebrates Castle Lager’s long-standing sponsorship of Tankard, which is more than just a partnership. It is a commitment to keeping the spirit of horse racing alive in Zimbabwe.”
