Outstanding entries pour in for 2009 Asian Mile Challenge
(HKJC)
Very strong interest has emerged from many of the highest profile names in world racing for this year's US$10.5m Asian Mile Challenge, the richest prize the sport has to offer for a single horse.
A record total of 382 entries were received for the four-legged Asian Mile Challenge which begins with the Futurity Stakes in Melbourne on 28 February. These nominations came from horses trained in 21 different racing jurisdictions and include a highest-ever tally of 51 individual Gr.1 winners.
Three of last year's AMC winners are among the headline names present: Jay Peg, the US$5m Dubai Duty Free champion from South Africa; Hong Kong's Good Ba Ba, the Champions Mile hero and the world's leading Older Turf Miler in 2008 after a repeat win in the Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Mile; and the great Japanese mare Vodka, a tearaway winner of the Yasuda Kinen, the final leg of the series in June.
Other topliners include Weekend Hussler, Australia's Horse of the Year for 2007/08 and a seven-time Gr.1 victor; Archipenko and Eagle Mountain, international winners at the highest level in 2008 for trainer Mike de Kock; British trained Paco Boy, rated the equal of Good Ba Ba last year during his three-year-old campaign; America's former Breeders' Cup Mile champion Kip Deville; and Daiwa Scarlet, the first female to win the Arima Kinen in Japan for 37 years.
Prize-money and bonuses worth US$10.5m are on offer. Three AMC wins will net a bonus of US$2m with a bonus pool of US$1m credited to the winners of two legs.
Winning trainers will be factored directly into the bonus structure this year to encourage a wider spread of competition. Trainers of the winners of two legs will receive US$250,000 with the remaining US$750,000 going to the owner. Should a horse succeed in three legs, the trainer's reward will double to US$500,000 with the owner netting US$1.5m.
With horses not having to compete in every leg of the AMC to be eligible for a bonus, the Challenge promises exciting racing action from some of the world's best milers at four outstanding racecourses spread across the Asian Racing Federation region.
