An enclosure was named after Mick at Wimbledon Stadium. Mick remained the only dog to win two Derby titles until 1973, when Patricias Hope won his second title. Royal Doulton produced a limited edition run of Mick the Miller figurines in the 1990s. A memorial to Mick was built on the village green of his birthplace in Killeigh, Co. Offaly. The statue was created by Northern Irish artist Liz O'Kane, and was unveiled by the Taoiseach of Ireland, Brian Cowen.
