Margins: 15 yards x half-head Winners Rate: 1:58.8 CHAMPION WA pacer, Mount Eden, fresh from a number of sub two-minute miles during the Inter-Dominion series at Addington in Christchurch, New Zealand, was the star attraction of the fifth Craven Filter Miracle Mile on March 12, 1971. Basic prizemoney was increased to $17,500, with an additional $12,500 in time incentives. A record Miracle Mile crowd of 24,492 saw Mount Eden, driven by his trainer, Jack Miles, overcome difficulties to win brilliantly in 1:58.8, only .2 of a second outside the record held by Halwes. In a race of sensations before the biggest crowd at Harold Park since the 1960 Inter-Dominion Final, Mount Eden wanted to trot in the score-up then went into a wild gallop just before the field was released. Punters, who had backed Mount Eden into 6-4 favouritism, were given another chance, however, when the starter, Clive Salkeld, declared a false start. The field re-assembled, but once again Mount Eden wanted to trot a few strides in his hopples. Miles restrained him, but the champion broke into a gallop. This time there was no second chance. The starter went without him. Still in a gallop, Mount Eden was left a conservative 10 lengths as the Kiwi mare Stella Frost and Bay Foyle raced head and head into the first turn. Tailed off for some considerable distance, Mount Eden unwound an amazing turn of speed to catch the field, then swept to the front with three furlongs to go. He then careered away to beat Deep Court (16-1) by 15 yards, with Bay Foyle (8-1) a halfhead away third. Both Mount Eden and Stella Frost, which finished fourth in 2:00.4, were later sold to race in America to bring the tally of exports to the United States to fourteen [http://www.menangleparkpaceway.com.au...].
