This year’s Met Mile (Metropolitan Handicap) was an absolute thriller. It came down to the wire and Silver Train won in a photo finish. Silver Bullet stayed just off the pace for most of the race and then took charge as the front-runners tired. Sun King challenged as well and made it very interesting, but Silver Train won by a head. Jockey Edgar Prado, who was the jockey of Barbaro, had to feel great. Both Silver Train and Sun King had bumped starts.

On Monday, the 113th running of The Metropolitan Handicap will go off at Belmont Park. The Metropolitan Handicap is a Grade I stakes race with a $600,000 purse. The Metropolitan Handicap is one mile in length and open to horses three-years-old and up. This year’s Metropolitan Handicap at Belmont Park promises to be an exciting race. If you are going to bet on the race, pay attention to the track conditions. The area has been flirting with rain off and on. Here’s the line up for the race.
