Miracle Mile Barrier Draw & Final Field - Favourite King Of Swing draws barrier six
- The final field for the 2021 Miracle Mile has been revealed
- The Miracle Mile takes place at Menangle on Saturday, March 6
- King Of Swing is the red-hot favourite
Wolf Stride is in the Miracle Mile field (Club Menangle)
The Black Prince and Ignatius were the biggest winners after coming up with barriers one and two respectively for the $1 million Miracle Mile at Menangle on March 6.
Newcastle Mile winner The Black Prince’s chances were enhanced when he drew barrier one for Australasia’s biggest sprint race.
Former Tasmanian pacer Ignatius, a prolific winner at Menangle during his two and three-year-old years, has emerged as a serious chance in the race after drawing gate two.
Odds-on favourite King Of Swing drew gate six but likely come from gate five when the second emergency One Change comes out of the race. One Change drew gate three.
Had King Of Swing drawn closer to the pegs he would have almost certainly started a long odds-on favourite in the race but may now have to work a little harder to exert his superiority.
With the revamped market he was listed as a $1.42 favourite with Sportbetting.com.au.
Kiwi mare Stylish Memphis, last week's Ladyship Mile winner, will again have to come from near the tail of the field after drawing the outside of the front line in gate 10, but should come into eight when the reserves are taken out.
