The Runhappy Met Mile is one of the most prestigious American races outside of the Triple Crown and Breeders’ Cup. First run at Morris Park in 1891, the race was moved to Belmont Park in 1905, where it has been held most every year since and won by some of the most memorable horses in history, including Native Dancer, Tom Fool, Kelso, Forego and Ghostzapper. In 2016, Frosted set the race record of 1:32.73, winning by memorably lopsided 14 1/4 lengths. The Inside Track to the Met Mile Wagering Guide is now available for purchase!
