City of Hope Mile Stakes Race History
The City of Hope Mile Stakes is a prestigious Grade 2 turf race held annually at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California. Open to horses aged three and older, the race is contested over one mile on the turf course and offers a purse of $200,000. In 2024, the race was added to the Breeders' Cup Challenge Series, earning the winner an automatic, fees-paid berth into the Breeders' Cup Mile at Del Mar.
The City of Hope Mile has a rich history, with notable winners such as Silic, War Chant, and Val Royal, who completed the City of Hope Mile/Breeders' Cup Mile double in 1999, 2000, and 2001, respectively. More recently, Johannes secured his spot in the Breeders' Cup Mile by winning the 2024 edition of the race. Trained by Tim Yakteen and ridden by Umberto Rispoli, Johannes extended his unbeaten streak to four consecutive victories, including wins in the Shoemaker Mile (G1) and Eddie Read Stakes (G2). In 2025 Johannes scored his second consecutive victory, drawing level with Mo Forza (2020, 2021) for most wins all time.
