Arch Rivals confirmed for Miracle Mile
The New South Wales Harness Racing Club today invited the arch rivals Smoken Up and Im Themightyquinn to contest the 2011 SEW Eurodrive Miracle Mile at Tabcorp Park Menangle on Saturday 26 November.

Smoken Up, the reigning Miracle Mile champion and the Tabcorp Park Menangle track record holder, exploded back into winning form at Addington this afternoon, claiming the New Zealand Free For All. more...
Northern star has Mile aspirations
Northern hemisphere star Lisagain will certainly be a force to reckon with this Saturday night in the Coca-Cola Amatil Sprint at Tabcorp Park Menangle.
In his first trial on Australian soil Lisagain impressed caretaker Peter Muir and certainly the track staff when comfortably covering the mile and a half hit-out in 3:05.
“Wow,” Muir said just after the workout. more...
No miracle decision
There has been no decision on any early invitations to the SEW-Eurodrive Miracle Mile after the running of the New Zealand Cup.
With the somewhat surprise relegation of Smoken Up into second place by Terror To Love, the result only threw up more conjecture.
With Victoria demanding an invitation for Bitobliss, New Zealand certainly want to see their newest star Terror To Love contest the southern hemisphere’s greatest speed test. more...
Raglan first qualify
RAGLAN became the first horse to qualify for the 2011 SEW-Eurodrive Miracle Mile after taking out tonight’s Western Suburbs Leagues Club Newcastle Mile.

Kooky – Tabcorp Park Menangle has them all!
