Longacres Mile Gets 28 Nominations

Emerald Downs Director of Racing Bret Anderson has released a list of 28* nominations for the 76th running of the $200,000 Longacres Mile (G3) on Sunday, Aug. 21.

That total represents an increase from both 2010 and 2009 when 22 and 25 horses, respectively, were nominated to the Northwest’s most prestigious race.

The last three Mile winners—Noosa Beach, Assessment and Wasserman—are part of a local contingent that looks to score an unprecedented seventh straight Longacres Mile victory.
