Futurity Stakes is part of the Asian Mile Grand Slam

When Niconero took out the lion’s share of Futurity Stakes race prizemoney of $702,000 earlier this month, I was thinking that this is one of the best weight for age thoroughbred horses I’ve ever seen. No wonder it’s the first leg of the Asian Mile Challenge.

So if you didn’t know, the Asian Mile Challenge now consists of four Grade 1/Group 1 horseraces:

  1. Futurity Stakes in Melbourne at Caulfield Racecourse.
  2. Dubai Duty Free Stakes at Nad Al Sheba Racecourse in Dubai, UAE
  3. Champions Mile at Sha Tin Racecourse, Hong Kong
  4. Yasuda Kinen at Tokyo Racecourse

We’ll be watching closey how Niconero fairs in this wonderful ‘grand slam’ of horse racing! You’ll find plenty of multibet options for horseracing at Sportbets.com.au.
