On Sunday (Sept. 18) The Red Mile will host eight Kentucky Championship finals worth $3.2 million for freshman and sophomore male and female trotters and pacers and two $100,000 Kentucky Commonwealth series finals for three-year-old filly trotters and two-year-old male pacers. The total purse value of $3.4 million on the 10-race card is the most lucrative in the history of the Lexington oval and places the Bluegrass State at the top of the heap when it comes to available money in sire stakes programs.
