Mouttet Mile (Caymanas Park) 2025

The Mouttet Mile 2025 is set for Saturday, December 6 at Caymanas Park, Jamaica’s national racetrack, headlining the richest race day in the English‑speaking Caribbean with a record US$300,000 purse for the Grade One mile. The fourth running continues a rapid ascent in profile, pairing international broadcasting, a deeper invitational field, and upgraded supporting purses to cement Caymanas Park as a marquee regional destination for thoroughbred racing.

Date, venue, and purse

Organizers and tourism listings confirm the 2025 Mouttet Mile for December 6 at Caymanas Park with the main race’s purse lifted to US$300,000, up from US$250,000 in 2024. The full race day also boosts companion features like the Bruceontheloose Sprint Trophy and Chairman’s Plate, making the overall program the most lucrative in the region.

What the Mouttet Mile is

Launched in 2022, the Mouttet Mile is a Grade One invitational for three‑year‑olds and upward over 1,600 meters, designed to attract the best of Jamaica and the wider Americas to a single centerpiece event. The race caps a season‑long qualification arc and serves as the flagship of Supreme Ventures Racing and Entertainment’s push to raise standards, reach, and prize money in Jamaican racing.

Field size and invitations

The 2025 staging allows a maximum of 16 starters, with eight berths reserved for horses domiciled in Jamaica before January 1, 2025 and eight for horses not domiciled in Jamaica before that date. In an added international draw, one slot from the non‑Jamaica allocation is specifically reserved for a New York Racing Association based entrant, reflecting the event’s broadcast and talent ties to the NYRA circuit.

Win‑and‑you’re‑in series

A formal “Win and You’re In” pathway grants automatic Mouttet Mile entry to winners of key Grade 1 fixtures across the year, starting with the Ian Levy Cup in April. Other qualifiers include the Jamaica Derby, the Philip Feanny OD Gold Cup, and a November double of the Jamaica Cup and Port Royal Sprint, making the race the culmination of a year‑long story arc.

Broadcast and reach

The 2024 edition aired on Fox Sports and NYRA’s America’s Day at the Races, with claims of reaching 10 million viewers, and the broadcast partnership continues into 2025 to expand the event’s international footprint. Media coverage highlights the Mile as a showpiece for Jamaica, with plans to grow imported entries and audience engagement year over year.

2024 yardstick and momentum

The third running in 2024 delivered a thriller won by Funcaandun in 1:38.4, beating favorite Legacy Isle before a packed grandstand and broad TV audience. Immediately after, officials announced the 2025 purse rise to US$300,000 and richer undercard purses to elevate competitiveness and draw.
