The All-Star Mile 2026 Results
The official 2026 All-Star Mile results will be available below once the race takes place on Saturday, March 7, 2026.
- #1 Tom Kitten
- #4 Evaporate
- #8 Pride Of Jenni
Tom Kitten ($3.90) raced his way into the Australian racing history books with a successful title defence in the 2026 All-Star Mile results at Flemington. Given a peach of a ride by Craig Williams, the Anthony & Sam Freedman-trained Godolphin galloper came from third on the turn to move up and narrowly edge out Evaporate (2nd) and the front-running Pride Of Jenni (3rd) for his historical second victory in the feature. The team are now looking at either the Group 1 Australian Cup, for which he’s the all-in favourite, on March 28 back at HQ or a more likely trip to Sydney for the $4 million Doncaster Mile on April 4 paying a generous $15 for him to win.

Victoria’s All-Star Mile race is a recently created multi-million dollar feature event contested during the annual Melbourne Autumn Racing Carnival.
First run and won in 2019 with Mystic Journey the inaugural champion from Tasmania, the 1600m showdown began at Flemington Racecourse.
In 2020 it was held at Caulfield with Perth champion Regal Power saluting, while the 2021 edition of The All-Star Mile was conducted at Moonee Valley Racecourse and won by the New South Wales-trained Mugatoo.
The 2022 edition returned to its inaugural home at Flemington Racecourse and saw the favourite Zaaki salute.
In 2023 the race moved back to Moonee Valley, The Valley the second course to host the event twice and was won by Mr Brightside who improved on a fourth in the race the year before.
The 2024 The All-Star Mile was again hosted by Caulfield Racecourse for the second time.
The now Group 1 race originally saw members of the Australian and New Zealand public vote for eligible horses to contest the event.
The voting system has since been removed with the All-Star Mile field featuring an expanded 16 runners in the weight-for-age event.
The All-Star Mile prize money for 2024 was cut to $3,750,000 and in 2025 it is worth $2.5 million.
In 2026 the All-Star Mile prize money was cut to $2 million.
Pride Of Jenni won the 2024 All-Star Mile two starts before her record 6.5 length win in Sydney’s Group 1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) that year.
In October of 2024 the All-Star Mile officially gained Group 1 status ahead of the 2025 with Sydney’s $20 million The Everest the other event upgraded to a Group 1.
In 2025 the All-Star Mile also produced that year’s Australian Cup champion with the third placed Light Infantry Man improving to win the famous Flemington showdown at his next start.
In 2026, Tom Kitten successfully defended his title to become history’s only two-time All-Star Mile champion.
