Champions Mile Betting Odds
Champions Mile betting heats up on race day with the event now held on the last day of the Melbourne Cup Carnival, Stakes Day at Flemington on the Saturday after the Melbourne Cup is run and won on the first Tuesday of November.
Strong milers dominate the season’s Champions Mile odds and gallopers with form over further distance at other tracks stand a big chance down the testing Flemington straight.
A good early Champions Mile betting tip is to watch the form coming out of the Group 2 Crystal Mile (1600m) run over the same distance at Moonee Valley on Cox Plate Day. The last horse to complete the double was Turn Me Loose (2015).
Last start winners are also your best bet when looking over the Champions Mile betting markets as from 2013-15 all three winners came off a lead-up win in Melbourne.
In 2019 the last-start Toorak Handicap winner Fierce Impact completed the double with a next-up win in the Champions Mile (then known as the Kennedy Cantala).
In 2020 the Kennedy Cantala (now Champions Mile) winner Yulong Prince won at odds of $10 with Superstorm an $8 winner in 2021.
In 2022 the Champions Mile was won by Alligator Blood who improved on a lead-up fifth in the Cox Plate and saluted at Champions Mile odds of $5.50.
In 2023 the Champions Mile was won in a stunning upset by all-the-way leader Pride Of Jenni who was backing-up from her Group 1 Empire Rose Stakes (1600m) win at the same track and distance the Saturday prior.
