The All-Star Mile, to be run on Saturday, 13 March at Moonee Valley, is a unique race where fans pick of ten of the 15 horses to run, with five slots reserved for wildcard entries.
As a weight for age (WFA) race with a total prize money of $5 million, the 2021 version will attract its best field yet, with five horses having finished in the first seven in the 2020 Cox Plate, currently Australia’s top WFA race.
