Portland Mile Purse Increase

Posted by: admin on Feb 15, 2010 - 10:12 AM

Portland Meadows has announced that the purse for their signature race, the Portland Mile has been increased from $40,000 to $50,000 for the 2010 edition of the race, to be held on Wednesday April 28th. This year’s Portland Mile will be the 45th running of the annual event for older horses and is contested over a one mile distance.

“Working in collaboration with the Oregon HBPA, we’re very excited to announce an increased total purse for the Portland Mile from $40,000 to $50,000,” said Director of Racing Jerry Kohls. “Hopefully by doing this, our signature race will now be a black type stakes event and should draw more interest from horses up and down the West Coast.”

In the 2009 Portland Mile, Crafty Power broke the track record for the distance, covering the eight furlongs in 1:35.94.
