The Young Men\u2019s Mile <\/B>is a race that brings together some of the best 3yo horses in the business.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Being run for the second time after being won last year by Pass The Mic (KY) this $1.7m classic is a chance for some of these 3 year olds to earn some serious cash for their owners.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The Young Men\u2019s Mile <\/B>is a turf race raced over the mile in Japan<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region>, this year we see 8 competing for the honours.<\/P>

Tonguska <\/B>is a locally bred 3yo colt which could give him an edge over his rivals.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>By Deep Impact this colt has shown steady improvement over his career with a huge win last time out in the Grade III Dracula Stakes.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He came from 6th<\/SUP> of 9 at the half way mark to destroy his rivals by over 2 lengths with a 110 speed figure, he\u2019s a 3yo with ability and would have to be a good chance in this.<\/P>
