Yes Bob, SSL should be given an invite, if Beautide wins the Miracle Mile, and there is no SSL in the race, what a joke!......the Miracle Mile won't stand for a cracker!.....he is the horse to lead them up, and make sure they go close to the record!.....Should have been 1st horse invited......ON FORM!
Yes SSL has already broken 1.50 at Menangle under race conditions and has also done it under trial conditions and has been very close to the magical mark in 2 other wins, Definitley worth an invite on form and he will certainly make it a truly run affair with young Lauren at the helm.
I think SSL should and will get an invite to the MM but this is how the board does their selection, it's all part of their build up to the race. The only horse gifted a run is the winner of the previous year's winner if it is racing at the time, everyone else has to "qualify". If you are on the eastern sea board and have not already been given an invite into the race you have to compete in at least one of the two lead up races, they don't say that you have to win a lead up race. That's their policy end of section. Some of those group three races SSL won at Menangle were normal free for all's, they were classed as group three races simply because they had $30,000 prize money, but SSL won some of them with absolute ease no doubt and a 1:50 mile rate is exactly what is needed to say that you are a genuine MM contender and that is exactly what SSL is in my opinion.
As they say "he who holds the gold is king" (and the board is).
Even if SSL misses winning a qualifier who from NSW would or could the board select ahead of him?
This type of debate is exactly what the board want, it's just a shame that it's not happening in the newspapers as it might help get a few more people through the gates on mile night.
My bad, try thisQuote:

LOL an omen or a possible early crow curse?
As you know, the gallops have the "Off The Rails Show" with Greg Radley & "Miracle Mal", why don't we change "In The Gig" to "Up The Sprint Lane", sounds good, what do you think? Unfortunately, we need to come up with a quirky advertising video to get the show off the ground and promote the MM....we only have a week to do this! I have been thinking of ideas, and perhaps we should base it on the following, horse flavoured video to get it out there! Can we match this to get the MM out there???Quote:

Such wacky stuff is part of the promo parcel you need nowadays
Christen Me accepted invite to the Miracle Mile. Was 2nd in the race last year
Suave Stuey Lombo is contesting the Cordina Sprint next week & should be invited however the record for horses in the Miracle Mile that hav had to backup in the MM after the Cordina is poor
Will there be room for Guaranteed in the MM?
Other than SSL who may not get a run (and would need to lead), G is looking like the only one who could threaten Beau
SSL does not need to lead!........he won the AP Sunshine Sprint with a finishing sprint!...............he deserves a run.....he has gone faster at his 2 of his past 3 wins at Menangle than what they did tonight! and he beat Beautide both times! The Board should give him the invite!
