The Yomiuri Milers Cup (Japanese マイラーズカップ) is a Japanese Grade 2 flat horse race in Japan for Thoroughbreds of at least four years of age. It was run over a distance of 1600 metres at Hanshin Racecourse until 2011 in April but is now run at Kyoto Racecourse.[1] The race serves as a major trial for the Yasuda Kinen.
The Milers Cup was first run in 1970 and was elevated to Grade 2 status in 1984.
Among the winners of the race have been Daiwa Major, Company, Grand Prix Boss and Isla Bonita.
