Lochinvar Art, trained in Victoria by David Moran, claimed the four-year-old feature at Menangle Park on Saturday night and will line-up in the Miracle Mile at the track on March 7.

The entire, which ran a track record 1:48:6 at Melton to win the group 1 4YO Bonanza on January 25, sat in the breeze outside leader Demon Delight as main rival Self Assured gained a charmed trip behind him.

However, Lochinvar Art, the $3.10 favourite, rocketed home in a 25.5-second last quarter to hold off Self Assured by a head and take the $105,000 first prize in 1:50:1.

Gordon said it was was exciting to be in the $1 million Miracle Mile and "it would be lovely to bring it back to Newcastle".

"I'm sure we'll be competitive in the Miracle Mile," Gordon said.

"It will be all about the draw. If you draw seven or eight, I reckon you are in trouble. I think you need to draw one, two or three and if we can, he'll be in with a chance.

"They said last night, 'Are you going to take the invitation?' I said 'Who wouldn't?'."

He praised the drive of Moran in the Chariots of Fire.

"After they'd gone 100 yards, Self Assured would have been $1.20," Gordon said. "He was one out and one back, on our back, and David just drove a brilliant race.

"Our plan was to have a crack for the lead after 300 metres but because they didn't go quite as hard as David thought they would, he didn't want to waste his energy. He was happy to sit outside and dictate the race from there."

It was the $29,000 yearling's biggest win and it took his prizemoney past $500,000. Although now with three group 1 victories, Lochinvar Art had a string of placings in the Victorian, NSW and Queensland derbies and other features.

"We've always known he was pretty good as a two and three-year-old but he didn't have a lot of luck in some of the really big races," Gordon said.

"We spelled him and brought him back as a four-year-old and he has gone to that next level.

"He's a real stallion and has that bit of X-factor about him. He plays up a bit, he kicks a ball around his yard, and he has few quicks, but he's stepped up."

Lochinvar Art will stay at Cobbitty Equine Farm until the Miracle Mile.

Meanwhile, Singleton trainer Aaron Goadsby will also have a group 1 runner after Takara Truffle qualified for next week's Ladyship Mile with fifth in the Robin Dundee Stakes on Saturday night.

Maitland driver Guy Chapple settled the six-year-old three back on the pegs and she made good ground late to sneak into the Ladyship Mile field.

"The plan was to get the shortest way home and see if we could qualify and we did, so it's a good thrill," Goadsby said.

"We got dragged out on the corner and she was about second last, so she took some ground off them, so I'm very happy.

"If we said 12 months ago, or even last month, that we'd be in a group 1 with her, we'd have laughed at ourselves, so it's great."

Goadsby has Immortal Change and A Gift From Heaven in the same race at Newcastle on Monday.

He said Immortal Change was his best hope but she faced a tough field.
