A small field of five will make their way to the starting gate for the 18th running of the DMR Mile, which is a Grade 2 event on the turf. The race debuted on our schedule in 2006 with a $400.000 purse, and saw Billy Nomates take home the win. Since then, other winners of the DMR Mile have included Victory Rain, Duke Or Earl, and even La Terrifiant, who beat the boys in 2021.
