The City of Hope Stakes (formerly known as the Arroyo Seco Mile as well as the Oak Tree Breeders' Cup Mile Stakes) is a Thoroughbred horse race run at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia, California during the annual autumn meet. A Grade II stakes raced on turf, it is open to horses age three and up willing to race one mile. It currently offers a purse of $200,000.

Part of the Breeders' Cup Challenge series, the winner of the 2008 Oak Tree Mile Stakes automatically qualifies for the Breeders' Cup Mile.

Inaugurated in 1986 as the Col. F. W. Koester Handicap, the name was changed to the City of Hope Stakes in 2013 in honor of the cancer treatment center in Los Angeles.
