(Photo by Reg Ryan/Racing Photos) Group 1 Melbourne Cup (3200m) winner Knight’s Choice could make his first two appearances in 2025 in the Group 1 All-Star Mile (1600m) on March 8, followed by the Group 1 Australian Cup (2000m) on March 29. However, the John Symons and Shelia Laxon-trained five-year-old will need to be granted a wildcard entry into the All-Star Mile by the Racing Victoria and Victoria Racing Club racing panel to compete. “Those races, the All-Star Mile and the Australian Cup, are both suitable stepping stones and hopefully the track won’t be rain-affected and firm enough for him to be competitive. They are weight-for-age races, so they will be a good test,” Laxon told Racing.com. “After Melbourne, there’s some nice races in Sydney for him but that will be dependent on the weather.” Laxon also noted that the Queensland Winter Carnival, featuring races like the Group 2 Q22 (2200m) and the Listed Caloundra Cup (2400m), where he finished second and fourth last year respectively, will again be considered depending on the conditions.
