HSH Princess Charlene Empress Club Stakes for fillies and mares
Royal Raceday at Turffontein on April 13.
A GRAND total of 17 Cinderella-hopefuls threw their names into a hat in order to line up in the Grade 1 HSH Princess Charlene Empress Club Stakes for fillies and mares over 1 600m to be run on the Royal Raceday at Turffontein on April 13.
Gates will open at 11am with entertainment for the entire family. Most importantly, remember to dress up for the royal affair.
They won’t, however, be eyeing a little glass slipper for a fit, but will be aiming to claim a piece of the
R1-million stakes on offer.
Not that they’re a bunch of paupers. On the contrary, the 17 fillies and mares entered so far are the royalty of the South African racing.
A bold statement you say? Well, the numbers back it up.
Between them, the 17 ladies have recorded no less than 73 wins and earned more than R16-million in stakes.
Considering their combined 258 runs, their winning strike rate is a staggering 28 per cent.
They will, however, not be the only royalty at Turffontein, come April 13.
Her Serene Highness Princess Charlene of Monaco has confirmed her attendance.
The Royal Race Day is an annual event held in honour of Princess Charlene at the Turffontein Racecourse in Johannesburg, and as always, it will feature a very strong charity component focusing on children.
