About the Race
First run in 2019, the All-Star Mile has quickly become one of Australia’s most exciting and unique races. Unlike traditional Group 1 contests, the All-Star Mile allows racing fans to vote for their favourite horses, creating a mix of elite Group performers and cult heroes in the final field.
Run under weight-for-age conditions at 1600 metres, the race offers an enormous purse, attracting not only local champions but also interstate and international stars. The concept has been embraced by punters, trainers, and fans alike, making it a highlight of the Melbourne Autumn Carnival.
When is the Next All-Star Mile?
The 2026 All-Star Mile will be run in March, with the host track and official date to be confirmed by Racing Victoria later in 2025.
