The Cigar Mile drew a field of nine for the final Grade 1 of the year in New York. The winner is likely to come from the trio of Performer, Firenze Fire, and King Guillermo.

The Remsen (G2) for 2-year-olds, an official prep race for the 2021 Kentucky Derby, drew a field of five. Eight 2-year-olds fillies will contend the Demoiselle (G2) including the unbeaten daughter of Curlin, Malathaat. In both of these races, the juveniles will have to stretch out to nine furlongs at the Big A.

Good luck this weekend and, as always, thanks for watching the show.
