Miracle Mile (race)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Miracle Mile is an Australian harness racing event held over 1760 metres at Harold Park Racetrack each November. Prizemoney has long been among that of Australia’s leading harness races and has often included bonuses for speed. The fastest ‘miles’ were 1.55.6 by Westburn Grant in 1990, 1:56.1 by Master Mood and 1:56.2 by Chokin. Since the race distance became 1760 metres the fastest mile rates have been 1:54.2 by Iraklis and 1:54.4 by Christian Cullen.
[edit] Race history
The race was held twice in 1986 due to a change of dates from January to November/December, and again in 1996 due to the postponement of the 1995 race caused by track redesign and construction. When the new track opened in 1996 the race distance was changed from one mile (1609m ) to 1760m.
