"With Summer Pudding looking a 'shoo-in', how can punters make money in Saturday's HSH Princess Charlene Empress Club Stakes at Turffontein? The answer could be to take swingers with Lucky Houdalakis's runner Wisteria Walk, whilst I believe that Lady of steel is a massive runner." - Andrew Bon

They used to reckon that racing is the activity of royalty – hence the name “The Sport of Kings” – and Saturday’s meeting at Turffontein seems to bear that out, with the main event being the Grade 1 HSH Princess Charlene Empress Club Stakes.
The race will be run over 1600m and Princess Charlene, a former Olympic swimmer for South Africa, has always done her bit to promote interest in her country of upbringing and horse racing. Therefore, it’s probably fitting that the highest-rated filly in the land, and one of our most popular horses, is in the race.
