Miracle Mile 2025, Chariots of Fire and MM Lead Up races

Best way to get the field is run under the clock............one at a time. Why not. At least every horses would get a even chance.
They can bet on the outcome.

This is just wrong IMO , and if I was the owner I would be filthy.

Maybe someone from HRNSW might give us an explanation .
But I will not hold my breath.

Mr Dunn said it was his fault?
How do you nom for a final?
I have never been able to nom for a final in the past as the final is made up of heat winners , it has me beat!.
A phone call from HRNSW????

If someone scratches from Heat 2 (and there has been no other derby scratchings), he would have to be tempted to scratch the stablemate
He owns them both (I think he only trains ones that he owns)

Yes , that would be the way to go.

I am still at a loss as to how HRNSW would or could accept a nom for a final!!!!

So if that's the case everyone can just nom for a final of say the Inter , the MM any race with a final really.

And how did We Walk By Faith get a run in front of The Janitor in the CHARIOTS OF FIRE. The Janitor beat it home easy in the Paleface.

The Janitor was 10th at the 400 , WWBF was 4th at the 400.

This can now happen if he chooses to go down this path. Hope he does & it makes the final that he is already nommed for.

Yes, Em.1 has scratched so any other scratching (such as the stablemate if nothing else scratches) he gets a start

No doubt he is hoping for a scratching from Heat 1 or 3 as I think they are better for his chances of qualifying for the final

My dad always said a top stayer could sprint.

The seven-year-old will need a top three finish in Saturday night’s Group 2 Cordina Sprint at Menangle to qualify for the $1 million Miracle Mile.

I think it said in the fields that 1st & 2nd qualify for the MM .

THE CORDINA GROUP SPRINT

The WINNER and SECOND plaegetters recieve an automatic invite to the Garrards Miracle Mile at Tabcorp Park Menangle on 08/03/2025. Maximum ten (10) starters and two (2) reserves. RBD.

Grimson also has former pin-up pacer Captain Ravishing having his first start for the stable against Swayzee on Saturday night.

“I’d love to have got him a bit early because the improvement he’s made in the few weeks he’s been here is enormous,”

Remarkable trainer.
