Celebration Mile

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Celebration Mile is a Group 2 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for three-year-old and above thoroughbreds run over a distance of 1 mile at Goodwood Racecourse in late August.

It was first run in 1969 and was known as the Wills Mile (1969-70), the Goodwood Mile (1971-74), and the Waterford Crystal Mile (1975-88), before taking its present name in 1989.
