If they ever make a movie about Cigar....the main focus of it should be about incompetent horse trainers.
Cigar actually won 17 races in a row on dirt....though his famed "streak" of wins was just 16.
He broke his maiden as a 3-year-old at Hollywood Park the same weekend as the 1993 Preakness....and his Beyer for winning that MSW race was almost equal to that of Prarie Bayou for his Preakness victory.
Yet...though the magic of really dumb trainers....Cigar spent the next year and a half losing turf race after turf race.
I believe Alex Hassinger had him when he broke his maiden sprinting on the dirt at Hollywood Park.
