FOUR runners were added to the nominations for the R600,000 Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile to be run over 1600m on Saturday 2 November.

Cape Town-based trainer Justin Snaith has nominated M’lords Throat and Unencumbered while Yvette Bremner, who trains out of Port Elizabeth, has added Blaze Of Fire and Celtic Fire to the list of entries.

Blaze Of Fire ran the race of his life when finishing a 2.50-length third behind Jackson in the Grade 1 Champions Cup over 1800m at Greyville in July.  He has run a Turffontein before and, in fact, finished a 1.25-length third behind Red Barrel in the Ready To Run Cup at this meeting in 2011.

Trainer Geoff Woodruff has withdrawn Sabadell for the race leaving 36 entries for this Grade 2 race.

SA Derby winner Wylie Hall has been allotted top weight of 60kg for the Charity Mile, followed by Cherry On The Top and Whiteline Fever on 59.5kg The final field and draws will be announced at a function at Emperors Palace tomorrow.

Woodruff has entered decent three-year-old filly Arcetri Pink into the R3-million Emperors Palace Ready To Run Cup over 1400m, however, with racing at Clairwood called off this weekend and the last four races at Turffontein abandoned due to rain, a number if runners will be left without that extra run to prove their ability.

Woodruff had Wild Ash down to run at Turffontein while Mike de Kock was hoping Star Point would get a run at Turffontein and Highly regarded Nigel Mansell would race at Clairwood.

The Grade 3 Graham Beck Stakes over 1400m could be an absolute cracker if some of the runners make the final field. Woodruff has entered The Shadow Ofhis Smile, who had tongues wagging following his 9.25-length debut victory over 1200m at Turffontein earlier this month.

Also among the nominations is Grade 1 SA Nursery winner Willow Magic, De Kock’s impressive charge, Whistle Stop, and the Alec Laird-trained pair of Chekilli and Bouclette Top.

The Grade 3 Starling Stakes over 1400m for three-year-old fillies and mares has attracted 37 entries while the Golden Loom Handicap (Listed) over 1000m will see some of the country’s top speedsters in action.

Supplementary entries for all features other than the Charity Mile close at 11am on Friday 25 October and final declarations close at 10am on Tuesday 29 October.
