Summer Mile Stakes

The Summer Mile Stakes is a Group 2 flat horse race in the United Kingdom for four-year-old and above thoroughbreds. It is run over a distance of 1 mile at Ascot Racecourse in July.

Before 2006 the race was known as the Silver Trophy Stakes. When it was temporarily transferred to the all-weather track at Lingfield in 2005, it became the first British Pattern race to be run on a non-turf course. This was followed by the newly upgraded Winter Derby the following March. After a second year at Lingfield, the race returned to Ascot in 2007.

The race was raised to Group 2 level in 2007, prior to which it held Group 3 status. It had been previously upgraded from Listed class in 2003.
