The 2021 Cigar Mile Handicap is the grade 1 horse race in which any thoroughbred horse of three years or older on North American soil can participate. It is contested at the Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, New York. The distance that is run in the Cigar Mile Handicap is one mile. Meanwhile, the prize pool to be shared is $750,000.
This race is called Cigar because of the excellent horse that in the 90s won the Jockey Club Gold Cup. He had the fastest time in the entire history of the competition, as well as the Dubai World Cup. This is considered one of the best Grade 1 races in the world that are run on dirt tracks.
In this race, there have been very good winners throughout history, such as Congaree who won it twice, Discreet Cat, Flat Out, Tonalist, Connect, and Maximum Security, who is famous for being the winner of the Kentucky Derby of the year 2019, and then he was disqualified from the competition.
