This weekend's Grade 2, $500,000 Cigar Mile at Aqueduct is truly a remarkable event. It stands out among December races and is the centerpiece of the Ron Flatter Racing Pod. With four Grade 1 winners and five millionaires involved, the excitement is palpable.

Feature Race - The Cigar Mile

Fox Sports and New York Racing Association racing analyst Richard Migliore will delve into the build-up to this significant race and explain how it has become so big. Trainer Rodolphe Brisset, who will saddle morning-line favorite Mullikin, is looking ahead not only to this weekend's Cigar Mile but also to Liam in the Dust's bid to win the Demoiselle (G2), a crucial points prep for the Kentucky Oaks (G1).

Super Screener creator Mike Shutty will provide his expert handicapping of the Remsen, the Demoiselle, and of course, the Cigar Mile. Each of these races offers unique challenges and opportunities for the participants.

The Remsen Stakes (G2)

As a Kentucky Derby prep, the Remsen Stakes last year produced championship contenders Dornoch and Sierra Leone. It is a race that holds great significance in the lead-up to the Derby, and Mike Shutty will analyze it in detail.

The competition in the Remsen is fierce, with many talented horses vying for the top spot. The track conditions and jockey strategies will play crucial roles in determining the outcome.

The Demoiselle (G2)

Liam in the Dust's bid to win the Demoiselle is another exciting aspect of the weekend's card. This points prep for the Kentucky Oaks is highly anticipated, and Trainer Rodolphe Brisset is focused on this race as well.

The Demoiselle attracts some of the best fillies in the country, and the battle for the win will be intense. Mike Shutty will offer his insights on the contenders and the factors that could influence the outcome.
