Fillies’ Mile at Newmarket 2024

Having been traditionally run at Ascot over many years since its inception in 1973, the Fillies’ Mile was moved to Newmarket in 2011 after a shake-up in the programme and now forms part of the Rowley Mile’s huge autumn Cambridgeshire meeting, staged in October.

Carrying Group One status, the Fillies’ Mile is the leading race of its type for two-year-old fillies with winners tending to automatically earn short betting quotes for the following year’s 2000 Guineas and Oaks.

With a prize fund of well over £500,000 and given its importance to the breeding industry, the Fillies’ Mile is quite simply one of the most crucial races of the whole flat season in Britain. Highlighting this, past winners such as Bosra Sham, Reams Of Verse, Gossamer and Minding went on to win classics while many others have subsequently taken multiple other Group One events.
