MILE FROM 11 The 1935 race was the first of many wild and exciting Mile races. • In 1938 Seabiscuit was pulled out of the running for the Mile because trainer Tom Smith thought the 142 pound high weight was too much. • 1940 marked the first win of the Mile by a woman trainer, Francis Keller. She won the race with a 3-year-old filly, Pala Squaw. The filly was not the first to win the Mile. That feat was accomplished by Exotude in 1936. Hula Boola was the last in 1956. • 1973 was the first Mile win picture of five for state Hall of Fame trainer Jim Penney. Penney saddled Silver Mallet. Penney went on to condition four more Mile winners: Theologist, 1977, Edneator, 2000, Sabertooth, 2002 and Flamethrowintexan, 2006. Flamethrowingtexan gave fans one of the most thrilling stretch run showdowns in Mile history holding off Papi Chullo.

• Chinook Pass won the Mile in 1983 by six lengths with Hall of Fame jockey Laffit Pincay, Jr in the saddle. It was the same year Chinook Pass won the Eclipse Award as Champion Sprinter. • The Great Face and Raise the Bluff finished first and second for owner Ron Crockett, Emerald Downs’ president. He described the day and as the “highlight” of his career. • Trainer Howard Belvoir stood in the winner’s circle for the 2008 and 2009 Mile with Wasserman and Assessment. Laurie Anderson was the last to complete the feat in 1982-83 with Pompeii Court and Chinook Pass. • Doris Harwood trained Noosa Beach won a record six consecutive stakes from 2010 to 2011 including the 2010 Mile. • British Columbia invader Herbie D won the 2013 edition of the Mile. The question is will he attempt to become the first horse in more than two decades to take back-to-back Mile victories.

Isaias Enriquez
Last season the leading rider Isaias Enriquez walked away with the leading rider title edging out the 2012 leading rider Juan Gutierrez.

TRAINERS FROM 12 has shifted mainly between Tim McCanna, who leads the all-time career wins list at the Auburn oval and Frank Lucarelli who is second on the all-time list. Last season a new contender came to town, Jeff Metz, who won the crown with 42 with Lucarelli coming in second with 39. Doris Harwood was third with 36 including five stakes victories. Metz, along with the leading trainer was the leading owner with 20 wins. Lucarelli, who won the training title in 2011 and 2012, had been either first or second 12 times since Emerald opened. This year should not be different with Lucarelli back and Metz is not expected to miss a beat. McCanna and Harwood will be right in the middle of the title battle.
Take note
A few trainers to keep an eye on that could easily challenge for wins and stakes victories are Blaine Wright, who has a
