Newcastle Mile 204

[Race For Fun]

Who will win the Newcastle Mile this year? Only 11 nominations for a $75,000 race which also provides the winner with a free pass into the MM. Will anyone be able to beat SSL (or will the draw of 10 be his undoing ) on his home track? By the trial results SSL can run 1:55 at Newcastle any time. Maybe Avonnova (not from 9). Chariot King might give it a shake from barrier 2. Teo Enteo gets his chance to stamp himself a genuine group 1 horse.

Now that the Treuer Memorial is all but dead the time is right for the Newcastle Mile to be given group 1 status with the addition of the required boost in prizemoney.

I'm happy to pot the fav Toni. I can't see Stuey clearing Avonnova who is drawn directly inside him. I got Teo first to the pegs, crossed by Avonnova with Panella putting on the speed that will result in a track record (still held by Pay Me Christian I think) weather permitting.
I'll take the quinella, Avon/Teo.

Beautide desroyed the track record last year.


Pretty poor support raves compared to last years card.

My bad.
The way the race looks on paper I will still stick with the prediction of the record being lowered......high 51 or low 52.

He is flying at the moment and is still the one to beat regardless of the draw,” Tritton said. “Avonnova is likely to find the lead first from nine, but I’m more than happy to sit outside him and still run 1:50.

Lol, appreciate Tritton's confidence and showmanship but if Stuey can sit outside and beat Avonnova running 1.50 at Newcastle I will do a nudie at Menangle on Miracle Mile night.

I agree with your opinion but as I'm not a gambler and I would like to see crowds increase not decrease I won't be that brave. :-)

as long as Avonnova travels well & settles in well he will grind this field into submission - I expect the team will learn from their last start & come out hard - obviously SSL is the danger especially if Avonnova gets the expected "attention" from some of the other runners - I think Chariot King will run a cheeky race - should be a cracker

Chariot King Opened $1.83 Fixed odds to place with TAB. There is a risk Marty Monkhouser or something else hooks into him, but he has the gate speed to find the pegs first, get a nice run and on current form he is the third best horse in the race anyway.
