(Photo by Reg Ryan/Racing Photos) Just days before last year’s Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m) winner Griff is set to be offered on Inglis Digital, the 2022 winner of the same race is preparing to resume his racing career. It has been announced that Golden Mile, the 2022 Caulfield Guineas champion, has been gelded and will return to training under James Cummings. “After missing much of the breeding season due to injury, Golden Mile will return to training as a gelding with Godolphin under head trainer James Cummings,” Godolphin stated in a social media announcement on Monday. Golden Mile was initially retired after finishing third in May’s Group 2 Victory Stakes (1200m), which was won by Antino. He had been scheduled to stand at Darley’s Victorian stud for a fee of $16,500, but injury derailed those plans. Now a five-year-old, Golden Mile was the first Group 1 winner for Astern, who also stands at Darley. Golden Mile’s career highlights include his victory in the Caulfield Guineas as the favourite, along with wins in the Group 2 Callander-Presnell (1600m) and Group 2 Theo Marks Quality (1300m). Golden Mile’s situation is reminiscent of Godolphin’s Kementari, who also returned to training after fertility issues. The 2018 Group 1 Randwick Guineas (1600m) winner added four more wins to his record upon returning, including the Group 2 Gilgai Stakes (1200m).
