    Cigar-Related Horses and their Return-on-Investment

    I've been slipping. Probably the snow rotting my brain.   Hava Cigar raced on 2/11. Didn't fare well, finishing a well-beaten 6th. Acigarisjustacigar also raced on 2/11, finished 4th. Both horses were out of the money, putting the list back in the red. Sitting on -17.67% so far.   Arty's Cigar...

    Hava Cigar is entered on Wednesday, February 11 at Turf Paradise. $8,000 claimer going 6.5 furlongs.   Acigarisjustacigar is entered on Wednesday, February 11 at Aqueduct. $16,000 claimer going 6 on the inner track.   Best of luck to both of these horses.

    Cigar-Related Horses and their Return-on-Investment

    BOOM!   Saturday at the Fair Grounds Cigarzin changed our recent fortune, who was much the best in route to a win. He paid $17.80, $7.60, and $6.60, totaling a $32 win on a $6 wager. That bumped the ROI, although only momentarily, to 37.22 percent.   That was followed by some not-so-good...

    Cigar-Related Horses and their Return-on-Investment

    Well, yesterday wasn't great for Arty's Cigar, who finished last in a field of 7. The comments simply said "Inside, no factor".   That puts us at a -42% ROI, but that is only a few races into it. I'll keep tracking this.   Nobody is scheduled to race at this point.

    I'm in as well if it goes, but it doesn't look like it this year.

    1st. Annual Cuban Superbowl Square's CANCELED!

      I'm another that has a problem with the CC selection. I love doing these things for high-end domestic sticks, but my access to CC's is virtually nil. With my job I simply cannot take the risk.   Try it again for upper-end domestics or CC's and I'm in for a few squares.

    I went ahead and added Lighter Fluid today, who raced a few days ago. Came in 3rd, paying $6.60 to show, which is a small profit.   That brings the cumulative ROI to -27.5% right now.    Better weather will bring more horses into the mix...

    Cigar-Related Horses and their Return-on-Investment

    With the cold weather over the past week there were plenty of cancellations, meaning that no cigar-related horses have ran. There have been a few workouts, but nothing as far as results.   Once the spring gets here this will pick up.

    Cigar-Related Horses and their Return-on-Investment

    Acigarisjustacigar didn't fare too well today at Aqueduct. He had a pretty rough trip to finish 5th.   That made for a $6 loss today, and unfortunately puts us at a cumulative ROI of -40%. It is still pretty early, though, with only 3 races tracked, but it is a $7.20 loss so far.   But, we do...

    I never thought I'd say this........................but,

    The Ohio State looked pretty good last night with a 3rd-string QB. Loved it.

    Quick update. Acigarisjustacigar is in on Friday at Aqueduct, going 6F on the inner track.   Super Robusto is back, this time going 6F at Laurel for a $5,000 claiming price.

    Morning Cigar never seem be fully in the race yesterday but at least held on for 3rd. Paid $2.80 to show, but with $2 across the board that made for a $3.20 loss and a line ROI of -53.33%   The overall ROI on our cigar horses is now -10%, but we'll see how this continues to play out.

    We have Morning Cigar running today at Parx. I also added the horse Sharp Cutter to the list because that seems pretty cigar related.   I have also added a column in the spreadsheet for different breeds. I know that there are some Standardbreds that have cigar-related names, and with this column...

    Will do. I plan on keeping this running.   And, we have our next one in. Morning Cigar, a 4-year-old bay gelding, is entered in a 1 mile 70 yards Allowance Optional Claiming race for $46,000 race at Parx on Tuesday. He is 4th choice with a morning line of 5-1 in a field of 7 (with 1 entry).

    Maybe the bug allowance helped. Super Robusto went off as the 5th choice tonight, had a slightly bad trip but wound up holding on to 3rd. Paid $8.00, which is a 33% ROI.   If anyone is interested in following along, here is the spreadsheet link. Right now it still says "test horse" in the second...
