The 2016 Charity Mile thriller – New Predator wins well
Gavin Lerena and trainer Johan Janse van Vuuren return to defend their 2016 R1 million Gr2 Charity Mile crown with the Australian-bred New Predator at Turffontein on Saturday 4 November.
The unique charity orientated raceday offers a bumper programme of top-class racing action and the feature has attracted a mixed bunch, that includes Argentinian-bred Gr1 winning import Hat Puntanoo and the PE raider and Grand Heritage runner-up, Classify.
