An unbeaten juvenile, Golden Mile was a leading member of his Classic crop when landing the Gr1 Caulfield Guineas. A Group winner from 1300m-1600m, he was just denied in the G1 Epsom Handicap and won the G2 Theo Marks at four. From the influential Medaglia d'Oro sireline, his dam was a juvenile Stakes winner who is herself a half-sister to two juvenile Group winners and a daughter of a juvenile Group winner.
Pedigree notes
Golden Mile won the stallion-making G1 Caulfield Guineas defeating the cream of the nation's Classic crop. Previous winners include the legendary Lonhro, sire of Golden Mile's dam and other highly successful sires Vain, Beau Sovereign, Luskin Star, Grosvenor, Redoute's Choice, Starspangledbanner, The Autumn Sun and Champion Anamoe.
Golden Mile is from a leading branch of the Sadler's Wells sireline which has enjoyed great success under Australian conditions. He showed great tactical speed and the ability to accelerate at the finish of his races, key ingredients for sire success.
G1 Statistics
Stallions from this sireline have a superior record of G1 winner production with a wide variety of broodmare sirelines, particularly the Mr Prospector line.
Best Nicks
Golden Mile's sire Astern has his best nicking stats with returns of Mr Prospector, Danehill and Sir Tristram line mares, being a product of the Lonhro nick himself. Several of his Stakes winners have multiple returns of Mr Prospector in the dam. Golden Mile's grandsire Medaglia d'Oro has sired almost 200 Stakes winners and has had great results with Mr Prospector line mares, Seattle Slew line mares and several Danehill lines. Inbreeding/Linebreeding options Golden Mile has a pedigree that offers several options for linebreeding and Female Family Inbreeding. He has multiple lines of Lalun, Natalma and Special which can all be reinforced to great effect. His dam is by a son of Octagonal whose dam Eight Carat offers further linebreeding opportunities.
