THE MILE
The year's fastest turf horses aged three and up will be battling it out in the $2 million Breeders' Cup Mile. Last year's winner, 7-year-old Miesque's Approval, is a grandson of the great filly Miesque, who won the Mile in 1987 and 1988. She was the first to accomplish the feat of winning two Breeders' Cup races. Since then, both Lure and Da Hoss share the honor of winning the Breeders' Cup Mile twice.
