2010 Breeders' Cup Races

The Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile is a 1-mile weight for age stakes race for thoroughbred racehorses three years old and up. As its name implies, it will be run on a dirt course (either natural dirt or a synthetic surface such as Polytrack). This contrasts with the Breeders' Cup Mile which is run on grass. The race will be run for the first time in 2007 during the first day of the expanded Breeders' Cup at that year's host track, Santa Anita Park Racetrack in Oceanport, New Jersey.
Because of technical requirements, it is not eligible for classification as a graded stakes race in its first running. However, it is almost certain that once it is eligible for grading, it will be classified as a Grade I stakes.
