New Predator bids for second Charity Mile win
Once again there was a massive buzz at Emperors Palace on Wednesday when the field for this year’s R1-million Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile at Turffontein on Saturday 4 November was unveiled.
Joint top weights for the Grade 2 race over 1600m on the Standside track are Argentina import Hat Puntano and last year’s winner New Predator. They are both carded to carry 61kg. Grant van Niekerk has been given the ride on Hat Puntano by Michael and Adam Azzie while for the second successive year Gavin Lerena will be aboard New Predator for the Johan Janse van Vuuren stable.
Sean Tarry has accepted six runners for the race but while four of them are carded to run, Social Order and Count Tassilo are the respective first and second reserve runners.
Sadly for Tarry, the horses who did make the main field drew wide while the two reserve runners landed up with No 2 and No 3 draws.
