The History of the Metropolitan Handicap

The Metropolitan Handicap, also known as the "Met Mile", is one of the most famous Thoroughbred races in the country outside the Triple Crown and the Breeder's Cup. First run in 1891, the race has been won by some of the most legendary horses in American racing, including Tom Fool (1953), Native Dancer (1954), and Buckpasser (1967). As part of the Breeder's Cup Challenge Series, the winners gain automatic entry into the Breeder's Cup Dirt Mile.
