All paired up and ready to race!

In an exciting update in the run up to the Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile taking place on Saturday 5 November 2016 at Turffontein, the much awaited unveiling of the field for this year’s Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile took place earlier today at Emperors Palace.

This popular Grade 2 race sees 16 racehorses each being paired with one of 16 celebrities, 16 media partners and most importantly the 16 charities who will all receive proportionate amounts of the R 1 million prize money, with the winning charity receiving R150 000, the charity paired with the horse in second place receiving R100 000 and all the amounts received by the other 14 charities dependent on the allocated horse’s placement.

The official pairings are as follows:

“This event is a highlight on the Gauteng racing calendar and never fails to be a fun, exciting, successful race day that raises a lot of money for very worthy causes,” says Phumelela Racing Executive Clyde Basel.

“As unveiled today, the field which will run in this race includes some South Africa favourites, but what’s more important is that everyone will actually be a winner on the day! We would like to thank Peermont Emperors Palace once again for partnering with us for what will no doubt be an unforgettable day”.

There are various hospitality options available in the Aquanaut or Furious Room and Deck at Turffontein, all with a prime view of the race track.

All for a good cause, come and support world class racing at the Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile on Saturday 5 November 2016. Gates open at 11am.
