The All-Star Mile is one of the richest races added to the Australian Racing calendar for the first time in 2019 as part of the growing number of Special Condition races held down under.

In October of 2024 ahead of the 2025 All-Star Mile race the event was upgraded to a Group 1 as was the 2024 The Everest.

An Australian first, The All-Star Mile is a unique initiative or Racing Victoria and was the only event in the country that punters get the chance to vote horses into the field before the selection process was revamped ahead of the 2024 edition.

Currently offering $3.75 million in prize money, reduced from $5 million ahead of the 2024 edition, The All-Star Mile is a key feature of the Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival held in mid-March on the weekend after Flemington hosts the Newmarket Handicap.

Run at the different major race tracks in Melbourne, the inaugural The All-Star Mile was contested at Flemington and won by star Tasmanian-trained filly and last start Australian Guineas champ Mystic Journey.

The 2020 edition of The All-Star Mile ran at Caulfield Racecourse, the weight-for-age event run over 1600m by a capacity field of 15 starters plus four emergencies.

In 2021 The All-Star Mile was run at The Valley and won by the NSW-trained Mugatoo.

In 2022 the event returned to Flemington Racecourse, with Headquarters the first track to host the race twice, and was won by the favourite Zaaki.

The 2022 All-Star Mile form was franked with the winner Zaaki going on to perform well in a host of subsequent races over the following 12 months including third placings in the Group 1 Doomben Cup, Underwood Stakes and Caulfield Stakes. He also finished fourth in the 2022 Cox Plate results before successfully defending his title in the Group 1 VRC Champions Stakes over the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

The All-Star Mile runner-up from 2022, I’m  Thunderstruck, further franked the form running second next-up in Sydney’s Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m). He returned that spring and ran second in the Group 1 Memsie Stakes before winning the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes over the Flemington mile. I’m Thunderstruck also ran second in that year’s Caulfield Stakes and Cox Plate.

The 2023 All-Star Mile returned to Moonee Valley Racecourse, The Valley the second course following Flemington to host the race twice, and was won by the previous year’s fourth place-getter Mr Brightside for Lindsay Park.

Mr Brightside went on to firmly frank the All-Star Mile form winning his next four starts including the Group 1 Doncaster Mile, Group 1 Memsie Stakes, and Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes. He also placed second three times on the trot after his Makybe Diva success finishing runner-up in the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes, Group 1 Cox Plate, and Group 1 Champions Mile during a stellar spring prep.

The 2024 All-Star Mile took place at Caulfield Racecourse for the second time offering a reduced $3.75 million in total prize money.

A revamped selection process for The All-Star Mile in 2024 also saw eight ‘Win and You’re In’ races offering the winners a guaranteed run.

The 2024 All-Star Mile field was also increased from 15 to 16 starters with the remaining starters to be decided by wildcards selected by a Racing Victoria (RV) and Melbourne Racing Club (MRC) panel.

The race now takes place a fortnight prior to Flemington’s Group 1 $3 million Australian Cup (2000m) with close to $7 million on offer in total for the WFA double.

Mr Brightside was denied back-to-back wins in 2024 when running second as the beaten short-priced favourite behind ace mare Pride Of Jenni.

After winning the 2024 All-Star Mile, Pride Of Jenni ran second next-up in the Australian Cup and then made history saluting in Sydney’s Queen Elizabeth Stakes by over 6 lengths.

The 2024 All-Star Mile will run for the first time as a Group 1 event at Flemington Racecourse. 

The All-Star Mile 2025 runs at Flemington Racecourse on Saturday March 8, 2025 as a Group 1 event.

2025 The All-Star Mile Nominations

Early nominations for The All-Star Mile 2025 close on Wednesday January 22, 2025 and will be updated here once confirmed.

The All-Star Mile History

The All-Star Mile was first contested in 2019 and took place at Flemington Racecourse.

The race rotates around the three major metropolitan racetracks in Melbourne going to Caulfield in 2020 and Moonee Valley in 2021. It returned to Flemington in 2022 and then Moonee Valley in 2023 before Caulfield hosts the race for the second time in 2024.

The inaugural The All-Star Mile winner was the Tasmanian-trained filly Mystic Journey who came off an historical Group 1 Australian Guineas (1600m) victory where she became the first Group 1 winner from Tasmanian in a century.

The second edition of The All-Star Mile took place at a closed Caulfield Racecourse due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The results were dominated by the Perth-trained stablemates Regal Power (1st) and Superstorm (2nd).

The All-Star Mile race conditions changed notably ahead of the 2024 edition moving from a public vote to a more refined process to ensure the quality of runners.

Mr Brightside was $2 favourite to make All-Star Mile history in 2024 with a second victory but was drawn wide and couldn’t match the speed of the event’s sixth champion, Ciaron Maher’s mare Pride Of Jenni.

In 2025 the All-Star Mile will run for the first time as a Group 1 race after officially being upgraded in October of 2024.
