Supreme Ventures Racing and Entertainment Limited (SVREL) has announced a significant expansion of its flagship event, the Mouttet Mile, transforming it into a two-day racing spectacle for 2026. Executive Chairman Solomon Sharpe revealed the enhanced format during a press conference at Caymanas Park on March 21, emphasizing the organization’s comprehensive commitment to horse racing development.
The racing extravaganza will commence on Friday, December 4 with the revival of the She’s A Maneater Sprint, an exclusive competition for Jamaican-bred thoroughbreds honoring the legendary filly whose remarkable career captivated racing enthusiasts. This special tribute race returns after being temporarily displaced by calendar restructuring and the reintroduction of the Diamond Mile.
Saturday, December 5 will feature the main Mouttet Mile event, which has consistently demonstrated exceptional popularity and attendance according to SVREL’s assessment. The expansion to two days represents a strategic response to the event’s growing prestige within the racing community.
In a significant move toward inclusivity, SVREL will enhance opportunities for smaller stables through revamped claiming races. The Friday card will feature three specially designed claiming events: a $1.5-million race with an increased purse from last year’s $1.25 million, alongside $350,000 and $700,000 claiming races both carrying substantial $1.5-million purses. This initiative specifically addresses previous limitations that excluded smaller participants from Mouttet Mile day activities.
The 2026 edition will embrace Jamaica’s vibrant cultural heritage through its ‘Dancehall Glam’ theme, reflecting both local traditions and the sport’s international reach. Sharpe emphasized that this thematic approach celebrates horse racing as an integral component of Jamaican culture alongside its sporting significance.
The event restructuring demonstrates SVREL’s holistic approach to racing development, balancing competitive excellence with broader participant inclusion while integrating cultural elements that resonate with both local and international audiences.
