Cigar Mile

Groupie Doll (and new $3.1M owners) said to be ready!
I suspect this will be the Equibase race of the week. Not sure how soon I can get the card.
Who all will be working this one?

Odds haven't been posted yet, probably tomorrow. I hope Aqueduct isn't cancelled like it was today.

Should be a good race. 1 turn mile, a healthy dose of speed horses. Question is: will there be enough value to get financially involved?

It's nearly always a good one, 7F. I think the weather will be workable, but as you say value seems sort of a common problem with many of the big races. That's what steered me into trying to learn to be more competent in the exotics.

Lots of great racing again this weekend.

On a Cigar Mile related note, just got this notice in the mail from Equibase;

The Aqueduct - Betfair Hollywood Park Challenge - November 30, 2013 is now open!


This week's challenge will consist of 5 races at Aqueduct
and 3 races at Betfair Hollywood Park, including these graded stakes races:

Cigar Mile Handicap (Gr. 1) - $500,000
Demoiselle Stakes (Gr. 2) - $400,000
Remsen Stakes (Gr. 2) - $400,000
Comely Stakes (Gr. 3) - $400,000
Generous Stakes (Gr. 3) - $100,000
Miesque Stakes (Gr. 3) - $100,000

It is EASY and FREE to play!

Free is good, and if it's "easy" which one of our RDSS competitors with a free Equibase account will win?

Good article from Bloodhorse this morning.

This is going to be one heckuva race and probably our last look at several of the notable entries.

As I suspected the Cigar is Race of the Week. Equibase sent the PP this morning, for old school workup.

My top 6 are nearly the same as yours atkinsrr.
I have been puzzling on this race for quite a spell now and I just can't get to that "feel good" place about it. One thing that really bothers me is when I change a single paceline for a single horse the readout results are HUGELY effected. Given the random nature of available pacelines for this race (and a bunch of races on this card!) I'm not confident of getting the "right" one for each and every horse. While that makes it a fun race to work, throwing darts with one hand over your eyes isn't the way I want to place a wager.
I may have to enjoy watching this race for the pleasure of seeing them run and try to score on a different one.
At this moment I my BL shows it 3-4-1-9. TPR and segs show 3-2-1-4. VDC and CSR also point to the 3.

How does 6, Capo, look Appy?

I've had him in my virtual stable for a while. Like Central Banker he came off a layoff and smoked the field at high odds.
