Click here to read more on the upset 2020 Doncaster Mile result that saw Wendy Roche’s $41 priced mare Nettoyer swoop late for a half-length win.
The Doncaster Mile field can be run with a maximum of 20 runners and the Group 1 event often attracts its capacity line-up of autumn horses.
There is generally a last minute scramble to earn a start in the Doncaster Mile field and horses that win the Group 2 Villiers Stakes (1600m) , Group 1 Chipping Norton Stakes (1600m), Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m), Group 1 Canterbury Stakes (1300m), Group 1 Coolmore Classic (1500m), Group 1 George Ryder Stakes (1500m), Group 2 Ajax Stakes (1500m) and Group 3 Doncaster Prelude (1600m) earn automatic entry into the Doncaster Mile with a ballot exemption.
The Doncaster Handicap generally draws the best milers from right around Australia competing for a share in the $3 million in Doncaster Mile prize money. The prizemoney for the 2020 Doncaster Mile was cut to $1.5 million to ensure racing could continue for longer with the COVID-19 pandemic.
After running in the Doncaster Mile field horses may back-up a week later and vie for a win in the richest race of the autumn, the weight-for-age Group 1 $4 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m).
The 2020 Doncaster Mile Field faced off on Day 1 of The Championships on Saturday April 4, 2020 and was worth a reduced $1.5 million due to the COVID-19 pandemic threatening to shut down Australian racing.
The latest Doncaster Mile 2020 odds on the likely runners in the autumn classic will be provided below across the autumn.
The final 2020 Doncaster Mile field is released by Racing NSW on the Tuesday before the race and will be published below Tuesday March 31, 2020.
Jamie Richards’ 10-time Group 1 winning New Zealand mare Melody Belle heads a capacity Doncaster Mile 2020 field drawn in barrier 14 sharing the equal 57kg topweight with one of Chris Waller’s nine acceptors (eight confirmed a start), Kolding, also drawn wide in gate 17.

The Doncaster Mile nominations close in early February, around two months before the race runs as the feature event on the opening day of The Championships race days at Royal Randwick Racecourse in April during the annual Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival.
Every season the Doncaster Handicap early entries can attract up to 200 handicap hopefuls before the first round of acceptances helps punters narrow down what horses will eventually take to the Randwick track in the final Doncaster Handicap field.
Around four weeks after the nominations close for the $3 million Doncaster Mile the list of possible runners is cut down by the Doncaster Mile first acceptances, which are taken in early March.
The 2020 Doncaster Mile first acceptances are set to close around Tuesday March 10, 2020 and will be listed in full below.
A total of 88 horses remain in the mix after the official Doncaster Mile 2020 First Acceptances including early favourite Melody Bell, the star Kiwi-trained mare chasing her 11th career Group 1 win.
