FOX Sports will be the television home of Jamaica's Mouttet Mile Invitational in 2024 following the announcement of a partnership between the New York Racing Association and Caymanas Park, Jamaica's premier horse racing venue.
The Mouttet Mile Invitational, a Grade 1 event for 3-year-olds and up over one mile, will be worth $250,000 when it is held Dec. 7.
In addition to live coverage and on-site analysis of the Mouttet Mile from Caymanas Park, America's Day at the Races will also offer coverage of the G3 Chairman's Plate Invitational, while also highlighting Jamaica's natural beauty and historic sites.
“We were incredibly pleased with the output and reception of last year's Mouttet Mile, which aired to a U.S. audience for the first time thanks to NYRA and FOX Sports,” said Solomon Sharpe, chairman of track operator Supreme Ventures Racing and Entertainment Limited. “We're optimistic about the growth of racing in Jamaica and are excited to play a part in bringing this world-class event to an international stage.”
Commentary and insights from Caymanas Park will be provided by NYRA's senior racing analyst Andy Serling, alongside NYRA television analyst and reporter Acacia Clement.
“Expanding the distribution and reach of quality Thoroughbred racing is the primary focus of NYRA's partnership with FOX Sports,” said Tony Allevato, NYRA Chief Revenue Officer. “This partnership aligns with that goal, and we look forward to presenting live television coverage of this year's Mouttet Mile from Caymanas Park.”
