The Racing South Africa team are currently processing all manual entries and payments received before doing an internal audit of the Charity Turf Challenge competition. A provisional leader board will be released once this process is completed.
The RSA team have apologised for the delay and have thanked racing fans for their patience.

The 2015 Charity Turf Challenge kicked off with visiting trainer Brett Crawford and his talented daughter of Dynasty, ALEXIS (SAF) scoring 14 points in the Gr.2 KRA Fillies Guineas. It was then the turn of another Cape trainer to lead in the winner of the Gr.2 KRA Guineas with THE CONGLOMERATE (AUS) who ensured maximum points for his follows in the competition.
The winner of the Gr.2 Drill Hall Stakes, Ice Machine (SAF), was not in the competition and no points were scored and unfortunately the favourite and popular choice in the competition, Legislate, was scratched at the start.
On Sunday at Kenilworth Racecourse, Act Of War (SAF) won the Gr.3 Winter Guineas, scoring 9 points.
The leading horses by points of the competition thus far are:
