Waskakie set an Australian and New Zealand mile record of 1.50.5 when he won the $A50,000 Cordina Sprint at Menangle on Saturday night.
The win earned him an invitation to the Miracle Mile there on Saturday.
Washakie lowered the record of 1.50.8 set by Monkey King in the Miracle Mile last November, the first time the race was run at Menangle.
The pair were stablemates with Pukekohe trainer Steven Reid.
Washakie was formerly owned by Cavalla Bloodstock, which races Monkey King.
Washakie has been with Queensland trainer John McCarthy for 20 months after being sold.
He won 11 races from 32 starts and $101,000 for Cavalla and Reid.
Washakie has added another 18 wins to his record and taken his stakes tally to some $850,000.
Now 7, he won his first race as a 2yr-old at Alexandra Park.
He was bred by Lester Paisley, of Charlton, and sold for $40,000 at the 2005 premier yearling sale.
Washakie is by Badlands Hanover and the first foal of Shoshoni Sunrise, an OK Bye mare who won six races.
Badlands Hanover took a record of 1.50 as a 2yr-old in the United States.
He was imported to New Zealand by Nevele R Stud, Prebbleton, which also stood OK Bye.
John McCarthy trained and drove Be Good Johnny to win the Miracle Mile at Harold Park in 2005 and 2006.
Washakie is named for the chief of the Shoshoni Indians, a renowned warrior who lived in Wyoming from 1804 to 1900.
Badlands Hanover sired Our Hillview Gold, winner of the $A25,000 Spring Companionship Final at Melton on Friday night.
Our Hillview Gold was bred by the Waygone syndicate and exported to Australia last February after five placings in 10 starts from the Makarewa stable of Murray Swain.
Our Hillview Gold, the winner of 9 of his 15 starts in Australia, is out of the Falcon Seelster mare Clifton Falcon.
He is trained by Glenn Douglas and driven by his brother Daryl, who contested a series for invited drivers at Oamaru last Wednesday.
The Douglas-trained Make Mine Cullen, received the final invitation to the Miracle Mile.
She is the fastest mare in Australia with a record of 1.53 set in the Ladyship Mile at Menangle in April.
She has won her last seven starts and 24 from 37.
Villagem, runner-up to Melpark Major on Friday night, is in the Miracle Mile.
Monkey King and Blacks A Fake are sharing favouritism at $2.90 with Sportsbet NSW.
The NZ TAB has Monkey King at $2.60 and Blacks A Fake at $4.20.
Blacks A Fake won $5500 free-for-all against two lowly-performed horses at Newcastle on Friday night.
He rated 2.01.5 for the 2550m (mobile). It was his 66th win.
Monkey King is booked on a flight from Christchurch to Sydney on Thursday with stablemate Power Of Tara. Monkey King has drawn 3.
"It is the ideal draw for him," Brendon Hill, his Kaiapoi trainer, said.
Monkey King started from 4 last year. "There is a $50,000 race for Power Of Tara at Menangle," Hill said.
Power Of Tara ran fourth in the New Zealand Cup and New Zealand Free-For-All.
He led Monkey King by a neck at the finish of 2000m (mobile) in 2.31.9, the last 800m in 56.9 in a workout at Rangiora on Saturday.
The Hill-trained Carabella, who won the heat of the Sires' Stakes Fillies Championship at Addington on Friday night, has her next race at Alexandra Park on December 10.
The $150,000 Sires' Stakes Final is there on December 31.
Dasher VC (Washington VC-Innocent Byrd), bred by Stephen Woodford, of Abbotsford, won the $A50,000 Four-Year-Old Championship in Perth on Friday night.
