Johannesburg, 23 October 2024 – The highly anticipated R1 Million Allied Steelrode OnAMission Charity Mile (Grade 2) returns to Turffontein Racecourse on Saturday 02 November and is poised to make a significant impact.

The 2024 edition will feature 19 deserving charities, all benefiting from an exciting day of racing, competition, and generosity. This remarkable event is made possible through the generous sponsorship of global steel manufacturer Allied Steelrode.

A Barrier Draw held at Turffontein Racecourse on Thursday 22 October determined the pairings of the 16 runners with their respective beneficiary charities.

"We have seen firsthand how partnerships can truly transform society. We’re proud to announce the minimum guaranteed amount of R30 000 for each charity. But it's not just about financial support, and more about inspiring a shared commitment to creating positive change in our communities.

63 KGs Dave the King Big weight.

 

IMO 4racing have gave up trying to promote this meeting

Some crazy betting imo - Dave the King at 63 kgs in a Handicap - I don't think so; Francis Ethel more realistically priced - but under suffererance I believe and better further; I think the de Kock runners must have as good a chance as any; SIlver Sanctuary and Safe Passage both drawn well - best value imo Celtic Rumours 

15 horses finished witht their jockeys
MDK had 6 of them
Silver Santuary - 4th Decent run
Safe Passage 10th 8 lengths back.
Zinovi 12th poor run
Givemeanotherchance 13th poor run
Dave The King 14th Shocker - waiting for Stipes report
Shoemaker 15th Shocker - waiting for stipes report

Summer Cup on its head
