Frank E Kilroe Mile Hcp

First run in 1960, the Kilroe Mile has a rich history in American thoroughbred racing and some great names have won the race.

Open to horses aged four-year-old and above, the Frank E Kilroe Mile Handicap holds a purse of USD $400,000 and is typically ran in early March.

Remarkably not one mare had won the Frank E Kilroe Mile Handicap in over 50 runnings, as of 2010.

That all changed when Proviso won the eight furlong race, held at Santa Anita Park, Arcadia, California, in 2010.

While there are many great races in US horse racing, the Frank E Kilroe Handicap has a unique place in history, being named after such a respected member of the thoroughbred community.
