The Noel J Taylor Memorial Mile is a Group One event for 4 and 5 year old pacing horses in New Zealand. It is held over the distance of 1700 metres (just over one mile) once a year at Alexandra Park, Auckland, New Zealand. As well as being a major event in its own right, it is also the key lead-up to the New Zealand Messenger Stakes run the following week. The race was traditionally a four-year-old race, but from 2013 will be open to five-year-olds, as is the case with all traditional 4 year-old feature races in New Zealand.
