As one of the original seven Breeders’ Cup events, and with a $2 million purse, the Mile is guaranteed to draw an international field of the world’s top turf milers. Through its 34-year history, the Mile has been somewhat of an enigma for horseplayers who seem overanxious to designate it as being overwhelmingly dominated by European invaders — this despite evidence to the contrary, which suggests Americans do equally well.

  Recently, my colleague Noel Michaels wrote a piece for US Racing detailing how jockeys matter when handicapping the Breeders’ Cup races entitled “Jockeying for Position As the Breeders’ Cup Approaches”.
