$100,000 Miami Mile Handicap (Grade 3), a turf stakes for 3-year-olds and up, is the feature for Calders opening day. A field of 11 go postward, where Mambo Meister, second in last years Miami Mile, and Jet Propulsion, who won the Sunshine Millions Turf, will vie for favoritism. Motovato has great speed figures but will be making his turf debut. Also returning from last years Miami Mile is Fearless Eagle, who ran third, beaten by 2 3/4 lengths.
Pleasant Strike has finished in the money in three straight graded stakes races over the turf and looks formidble. March to Victory is coming off a claiming race victory on the turf and will be a longshot. Gentleman James has only started on dirt this year, and has impressive speed figures but has not tried the turf in over two years and ran badly in his one turf attempt back in 2008. Pinckney Hill has back-to-back wins on the Gulfstream turf , both at the allowance level. Storm Caller, Stones River, and Dream Maestro round out the field.
