The race, which is open to three year-old thoroughbreds and above, is run on a turf track that stretches for 1,600 meters.

The Champions Mile is the third part of the Asian Mile Challenge.

Unlike some races that impose handicap conditions, the Champions Mile is a weight-for-age race. This means that the amount of weight carried by each horse is determined by its age and sex, rather than its past performance.

Trainer John Moore has absolutely dominated this race, as his horses have won this race many times.
