BREEDERS' CUP DIRT MILE

The 'Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile' is a 1-mile Weight for Age stakes race for thoroughbred racehorses three years old and up. As its name implies, it will be a part of the Breeders' Cup, the ''de facto'' year-end championship for North American thoroughbred racing, and will be run on a dirt course (either natural dirt or a synthetic surface such as Polytrack). This contrasts with the similar Breeders' Cup Mile, run on grass. All Breeders' Cups to date have been conducted in the United States, with the exception of the 1996 event in Canada.
Pending regulatory approval, it will be run for the first time in 2007 during the first day of the expanded Breeders' Cup. Because of technical requirements, it is not eligible for classification as a graded stakes race in its first running. However, it is almost certain that once it is eligible for grading, it will be classified as a Grade I stakes.
The initial purse will be $1 million US.
