Do we Kev? We know Laz wasn't as effective over a mile as he was over a longer journey when he was trained by Mark Purdon for racing under Australian and NZ conditions. And the miracle mile was always at the end of a campaign (which made Soho Tribecas effort even more remarkable because he'd had as tough a season as Laz)

But trained by Takter and driven by Gingras specifically for mile racing and he may be far more adept at a mile now then in the past. Gingras has suggested he's capable of a 1:46 mile but needs the other horses to push him and that might be the problem if this is not a strong crop of open class horses.

More likely to be a race at the red mile they'd target then a time trial I'd think. Dont think time trials are in vogue much anymore, is a galloping pacemaker permitted?
