Salvator Mile Handicap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Salvator Mile Handicap is run each year at Monmouth Park Racetrack for thoroughbred horses three-year-olds and up at one mile on the dirt. A Grade III event, it offers a purse of $150,000.
This race is named for arguably the greatest race horse of the last half of the 19th Century, Salvator. The Salvator will run for the the 60th time in 2007.
In 1965 Tom Rolfe won this race. Distorted Humor, one of America's leading stallions, took it 1997. He's the sire of the 2006 winner, Flower Alley.
