At first glance Magic School looks to be the right one , not sure about distance though

poor quality field.

79 to 85 at the bottom and 106 to 112 at the top. a good listed field not grade 2

16/1 at WSB www.worldsportsbetting.co.za/mplevents/89736331_

Wow reality sets in when you look at the stakes -
last year
1st R580000, 2nd R200000, 3rd R100000, 4th R50000, 5th R20000, 6th R10000, 7th R10000, 8th R10000, 9th R10000, 10th R10000

This year

1st R105000, 2nd R43750, 3rd R17500, 4th R8750

How disgusting - those deviants that destroyed Racing should be forced to account - I hope MOD do not sweep the rot under the table - Anyone wanting to get into ownership will take one look at these stakes and run to the hills -

13/2 the field; Would have fancied Astrix - but the draw puts me off; Cornish Pomodoro out at the weights - but Lyle probably had the choice - so should go close

PHUMELELA MEDIA RELEASE

SUBJECT: Final field for Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile

DATE: Tuesday 27 October 2020

RELEASED BY: Phumelela





Trainer Sean Tarry has got four runners in Saturday’s Grade 2 Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile over 1600m at Turffontein and they could feature prominently in the outcome.

In fact, his runners “top and tail” the weights as Tierra Del Fuego carries top weight of 60kg with Cornish Pomodoro at the bottom with 52kg. His other two are last year’s Gauteng Summer Cup winner Zillzaal, and filly Victoria Paige.

He also has a string of top jockeys riding his quartet with Gavin Lerena on Tierra Del Fuego, Aldo Domeyer on Zillzaal, Luke Ferraris aboard Victoria Paige and Lyle Hewitson on Pomodoro.

Justin Snaith leads the group of raiders with Michaelmas Handicap winner Crown Towers. This son of Camelot raced in the Grade 1 Champions Cup over 1800m at Greyville in August and has t be a strong contender. Grant van Niekerk takes the ride.

Brett Crawford, who like Snaith, operates a yard in KZN from where they are raiding the Highveld. Crawford has Hudoo Magic who is quoted at 25-1 for Saturday’s race.

Paul Peter has two runners with decent form in Riverstown and Astrix. The former has been priced up joint favourite with Crown Towers at 13-2 and will be ridden by Piere Strydom.

Every horse will be running for a charity and it will be a great payday for all 16 charities represented as they will be sharing in a R1-million pool.

The organisation that draws the winning horse will go home with R150,000. The second-placed horse will result in their charity receiving R100,000, R75,000 will be given to the charities represented by the third and fourth-placed horses, and all the other participating charities will receive cheques for R50,000.

To make the day a lot more fun, each charity will be represented by a celebrity. This year eight celebrities will be involved, and each will support two charities.

The celebrities invited are former WBA Junior Lightweight champion Brian Mitchell, Platinum selling singer Zahara, jazz and Afro-pop singer Judith Sephuma, actress Itumeleng Bokaba, racing commentator Nico Kritsiotis, hilarious sports comedian Shampoonaiza and former Orlando Pirates captain Lucky Lekgwathi.

Brian Mitchell will represent Lesedi Programme – Carpentry and Titans Sky Blues Trust; Zahara has Lesedi Star School – Vosloorus and Lesedi Programme – Electrical; Judith Sephuma has EEP Chambers of Commerce Trust – (Tembisa Print) and Lesedi Programme – Air Conditioning; Lucky Lekgwathi will be with Stars Schools – Springs and Soweto Animal Rescue & Advisory Centre; Itumeleng Bokaba has EP Chambers of Commerce Trust – (Masinga Embroiders) and the Animal Anti-Cruelty League; Rian van Heerden will be supporting the Highveld Horse Care Unit and Lesedi Programme – Plumbing; Shampoonaiza will be entertaining people from Peermont Education Trust and Animal Allies Rescue; while Nico Kritsiotis has Peermont Education Trust and the National Horse Trust.

should be interesting.....half the field is distance bound so pace is key.....throw adverse weather into the mix and then real tricky.......

.....:oops:....not actually distance bound but distance suited......always thought Charles would be a smart sort but he was stretched to go beyond the Trippi limits.....a mile should be ideal....that's if his sharpness has not already been tapped right out of him.....:huh:

ANYTHING GOES scratched this morning!!!
