Since the inaugural Miracle Mile more than three decades ago, no single harness race in Australia, or New Zealand, has attracted as much media attention as the Miracle Mile.
The Inter Dominion Pacing Championship is recognised in Australia and New Zealand as the premier harness racing event each year, but the Miracle Mile seems to arouse more interest, and certainly more controversy, every season.
Congratulation to Monkey King on an impressive win in the SEW Eurodrive Miracle. Monkey King sprinted brilliantly for driver Peter Rixon. A selection of photos from the day can be found on the Macarthur Chronicle website.

Australasia's premier harness racing spring the $500,000 SEW Eurodrive Miracle Mile is coming again soon. Sunday 29th November will see the excitement of the Miracle Mile take place at Tabcorp Park Menangle.

Driven by Robert Cameron, the trainer of Iraklis, which also won the Miracle Mile in December 1996, Robin Dundee ran the mile in an Australian record 1:59 - the first time the two-minute barrier had been bettered in a race in Australia - in beating Tongue Twister and Angelique by 25 yards.
