History

The Gran Premio Estrellas Mile, first run as an ungraded stakes in 2008, was the first race to be added to the Carreras de las Estrellas since its third year in 1993. It was inspired by the Breeders' Cup Mile.[1] The following year, in 2009, the Gran Premio Estrellas Mile was upgraded all the way to a Group 1 race.[2]

In 2024, the Gran Premio Estrellas Mile became the first race in the Carreras de las Estrellas to have a dead heat when the first horse to cross the finish line, El Eminente, was disqualified to third for interfering with Folie Ninja, who dead heated with Bronx.[3]
