THE CHARITY MILE NOVEMBER HANDICAP
|
 PIERRE JOURDAN (Derreck David) scores an easy win in the Charity Mile November Handicap (Grade 2) over 1600m to give The Citizen-nominated charity Animal Anti-Cruelty League a R100,000 payday. Pierre Jourdan, who is trained by Gary Alexander, was represented by The SoapGirls.
Phumelela’s Charity Mile, sponsored by Peermont and Emperors Palace since 2009, is a glorious event that brings together top racehorses and famous people in aid of charity.
The race is the highlight of a blockbuster race meeting at Turffontein on the first Saturday in November annually and is a unique and exciting way for horseracing to help people and animals less fortunate than ourselves. This is how it works:
* The Charity Mile is a normal race in every sense. What’s special is that each runner also races on behalf of a charity and its finishing position determines how much the charity wins. To add glitz and glamour, each runner is publicly represented by a celebrity.
* A total of R550,000 is given away to the 16 participating charities. The charity of the winning horse gets R100,000 and emotions will run high as the runners drive to the line. The joy, the excitement and the tears of the representatives of the winning charity are the most touching moments in horseracing annually. Here’s the breakdown (should a runner be withdrawn, the relevant charity gets R20,000): 1st - R100,000; 2nd - R70,000; 3rd - R50,000; 4th - R40,000; 5th - R30,000; 6th - R29,000; 7th - R28,000; 8th - R27,000; 9th - R26,000; 10th - R25,000; 11th - R25,000; 12th - R20,000; 13th - R20,000; 14th - R20,000; 15th - R20,000; 16th - R20,000.
It’s a great occasion in every way and it’s a great race, and race meeting, to bet on. Charity wins big – so can you!
