Dual Grade 1 winner French Navy has been allotted top weight of 60kg for the R1-million Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile over 1600m at Turffontein on Saturday 31 October.
The Grade 2 race will be run over 1600m on the standside track. Unfortunately for the SA Classic and Daily News 2000 winner, he has drawn No 28 of the 34 runners.
The news was better all round for visiting trainer Dean Kannemeyer who has nominated Vodacom Durban July winner Power King, Afrikaburn and Solar Star.
Power King was given 58.5kg to carry and has landed No 12 draw while Afrikburn will have only 55.5kg to carry and has drawn beautifully at No 5. Solar Star, though, has drawn poorly at No 25.
There was mixed fortunes for the Mike de Kock yard. Toro Rosso has drawn perfectly at No 1 and, from that draw and with just 52.5kg on his back, will be one of the strongly fancied runners for the big race.
His impressive victory over 1450m at Turffontein on Saturday demonstrated that he was not only capable of winning on the sand.
The two Grade 3 features on the card, the Graham Beck Stakes and HSH Princess Charlene Of Monaco Starling Stakes, for three-year-olds and three-year-old fillies respectively, have been well supported and no doubt trainer Alistair Gordon will be delighted as highly rated runner Bunker Bill has drawn No 1 for the R250,000 Graham Beck Stakes.
However, the De Kock-trained Entisaar will have to jump from wide out in the fillies’ event, having drawn No 20 among the 32 entries.
Final declarations for the Charity Mile close at 10am on Tuesday 20 October but the final fields will be embargoed and will only be announced on Wednesday 21 October, when the charities and celebrities will also be announced.
As far as the Grade 3 and Listed races are concerned, supplementary entries close at 9am on Friday 23 October with final declarations at 10am on Tuesday 27 October.
