World's Richest Mile Race
 

Courtesy HKJC:

The Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Mile is the richest international mile race in the world worth HK$14 million (US$1.8 million, GB￡1.2 million, Aus$3.5 million). The Hong Kong International Bowl was renamed the Hong Kong Mile and run over 1600m from the old distance of 1400m for the first time in 1999. Docksider won that race, then still a Group 2. The old Bowl was first run in 1991 to mark the staging of the 22nd Asian Racing Conference in Hong Kong.
