Charity Mile back on track at Turffontein
The 16 top thoroughbred horses, 16 charities, 16 celebrities and 16 media partners.
THE race that all the pundits are waiting for will be back on Saturday, November 5.
This year will be no exception and 16 horses will line-up at the gates to make their way to the finishing line.
Once again, 16 charities will benefit from the placing of their respective horses in the Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile, at Turffontein Racecourse.
Gates open at 11:00.
The 16 top thoroughbred horses and their charities will pair with 16 celebrities and 16 media partners, of which Caxton South will be one.
The main race on the day boasts prize money of R1-million, but even more significant is the R1-m in prize money, which will be divided between the charities on the day.
The winning charity will receive R150 000 and second place will receive R100 000, with all 14 of the other charities getting proportionate amounts of the total donation, depending on the allocated horse’s placement.
Thembakazi Primary After Care Centre won their portion of R150 000 in 2015, after being paired with the winning horse, Bouclette Top, on the day, along with Top Billing presenter Jonathan Boynton-Lee, as the celebrity.
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.
Another very popular option is Triple B – The Bourbon, Beer and Burger Festival, which is again a hospitality option at this year’s Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile.
