Cigar's performance in the Woodward was awesome. Although most of us are in this game for a little money (and I do mean a little), you really have to appreciate greatness when it happens to come along. If Cigar taking the lead at the turn didn't put goosebumps or a lump in your throat, you're in the wrong game and might as well be buying scratch-off lottery tickets. It might be long time before we see another this good. I was a very big Holy Bull fan, but give credit where it is due. For some reason I really though the tank was empty when he dropped 5 lenghts back. Congratulations to everyone conneceted with the horse. And thanks for the memories. - sn/lh LEP...@prodigy.com

I also believed he wasn't going to do any running until the far turn. When he caught the leaders, I knew he wasn't going to lose. Jerry didn't even cock his stick, just a pat or two on the shoulder. What race is next for him? THey mentioned one in 3 weeks? And how about Skip Away? Maybe he'll step up next year & be the next "big horse?" I wouldn't mind another grey. Grey horse - Cigar - Grey horse? Lois K.

Can't wait to bet with what looks like play money! Oh Canada...... Hey--you guys can knock off the 'Play money" joke any time now! At least with our money you can tell instantly and a distance, what denomination it is. Not such a dumb idea.

Hi Lois, I think the next start for Cigar is the Jockey Club Gold Cup on October 5. I read in the paper that he's following the same path (of races) that he did this time last year up to the Breeders' Cup. I also heard that Skip Away might run in the Gold Cup, too!! THAT would be interesting, especially since there might not be a Cigar-Skip Away match up in the Breeders' Cup. Ann
