History
editThe race was run for the first time in 2019.
It is currently raced at Flemington Racecourse but was previously rotated between Flemington, Caulfield Racecourse or The Valley.
In the initial years the public voted to determining most of the field that competes in the race each year. Owners and trainers had to nominate their horses in January and then the public voted for which horses should be in the starting line up.[3]
From 2024 the selection of the All-Star Mile field became a mixture of ‘Win and You're In' races and wildcards with a maximum field of 16 starters.[4] The eight races where the winner can gain automatic entry are:
- Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes, Caulfield
- Magic Millions 3YO Guineas, Gold Coast
- TAB Karaka Million 3YO Classic, Ellerslie Racecourse
- Elsdon Park Aotearoa Classic, Ellerslie
- C.F. Orr Stakes, Caulfield
- Futurity Stakes – Caulfield
- Australian Guineas, Flemington
- Blamey Stakes, Flemington
