2022 All-Star Mile result
Previous Runnings of All Star Mile
- Having been scratched from the 2021 Cox Plate, the Annabel Neasham-trained Zaaki showed he is perhaps Australia’s best horse when claiming the All Star Mile. Despite drawing the widest barrier in the 15-horse field, Jamie Kah had him settled outside the leader within the first 300m and from that point on the race was as good as over. When asked for an effort at the top of the straight, Zaaki was quick to put a gap on his rivals and managed to kick clear to hold off the fast finishing I’m Thunderstruck by 1.5 lengths, with rank outsider Streets Of Avalon rounding out the trifecta.
- Following the drama of race favourite Arcadia Queen being scratched on race morning, it was the Kris Lees-trained Mugatoo who claimed All Star Mile glory. The rain arrived just in time for the former import, with the conditions suiting him perfectly compared to a rival like Probabeel who simply could not handle the going. It was a battle for the ages down the home straight, with Damien Oliver and Russian Camelot going stride for stride with Mugatoo and Hugh Bowman. However, it was the latter who managed to got the better of his rival, with Mugatoo pulling away over the final 50m. With a massive crowd at The Valley, the 2021 edition of the All Star Mile was declared the best one yet.
- Following a narrow second place finish in the Australian Cup the week prior, Grant & Alana Williams decided to back Regal Power up into the All Star Mile and boy did the decision pay off. Under a positive ride from William Pike, the Perth-based galloper ambled up alongside race favourite Alligator Blood and flew past him inside the final furlong to win with a relative ease. Regal Power managed to fend off his rivals, including stablemate Superstorm who flashed home to finish second handing Grant & Alana Williams a stable quinella in the All Star Mile.
- Having taken out the Australian Guineas fortnight earlier, three-year-old filly Mystic Journey took out the inaugural running of the All Star Mile. The little filly from Tasmania showed she had a massive will to win having travelled three wide with no cover the entire event, but inside the the final 100m really knuckled down to hold out the fast finishing Hartnell and got the race off on a positive note for favourite backers, having saluted as a $3.60 favourite.
