The Cigar Mile Handicap is a Grade II American thoroughbred horse race for horses aged three-years-old and older over a distance of one mile and is held in late November or early December at Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, New York. The event carries a purse of $500,000.

History

The inaugural running of the event, then known as the NYRA Mile Handicap or simply the NYRA Mile, was won in 1988 by three-year-old Forty Niner, who would later become an influential sire. The race was eligible for graded stakes classification in 1990 and was awarded Grade I status by the American Graded Stakes Committee.{{cite web|url=https://www.pedigreequery.com/index.php?query_type=stakes&search_bar=stakes&field=view&id=288 |date=2021 |accessdate=14 November 2021 |publisher=Thoroughbred Database |title=CIGAR MILE HANDICAP - MULTIPLE TRACKS}}

The 1994 NYRA Mile was the second race in the 16-race win streak of Cigar, who won by seven lengths. The event was renamed in 1997 following Cigar's retirement to the Cigar Mile Handicap.{{cite web|title=Cigar Mile Handicap Profile|url=https://www.equibase.com/profiles/Results.cfm?type=Stakes&stkid=2631 |website=www.equibase.com |accessdate=13 November 2021}} Horses who have won the Cigar Mile on their way to championship honors include 2006 winner Discreet Cat (named one of the year's champion three-year-olds in the World's Best Racehorse Rankings), 2009 winner Kodiak Kowboy (winner of that year's Eclipse Award for Champion Sprinter), and 2019 victor Maximum Security (that year's Eclipse winner for Best Three-Year-Old Male).

In 2023 the event was downgraded by the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association to Grade II status.{{cite web|url=https://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racing/articles/265484/american-graded-stakes-committee-releases-2023-grades |title=American Graded Stakes Committee Releases 2023 Grades; The Stephen Foster Stakes is the only new grade 1 stakes for 2023. |date=16 December 2022 |access-date=28 December 2022 |work=Bloodhorse.com |publisher=Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association}}
