"We thought it was important to restore the San Francisco Mile as our signature race," Golden Gate Fields Racing Secretary Sean Greely said. "It's a significant purse and I think we can attract the best horses that excel at a mile or a mile and a sixteenth."

"I think it's essential for Northern California and California in general to have a strong stakes program," Greely said. "We need to stay aggressive on a national level. We have to offer a stakes program that's not only competitive money-wise, but graded-stakes-wise so that people will send their horses here.".
