The wait is finally over as Singapore’s horse racing community anticipates the comeback of live feature races. The $1 million Kranji Mile will return to Singapore Turf Club (STC) in full swing for its 22^nd edition on 21 May 2022.

Barrier trials are currently underway for the 1,600 metres on turf thoroughbred horse race with one of the biggest prize purses in Singapore racing up for grabs.

First introduced in 2000, Kranji Mile was upgraded to Group 1 status in 2006 and revamped as an invitational race in 2018. It has seen 18 local winners until Hong Kong’s Southern Legend won the race back-to-back in 2018 and 2019. Since 2020, the race has been opened only to local runners.
