Default masscap

When he came to Suffolk and won the Masscap back to back.....we felt very privileged. No one was disappointed. It was so cool to be in the paddock right next to him. And he looked the part. Seeing greatness at it's prime is always special. Cigar.

An article from journalist Amanda Duckworth who worked with him at The Hall of Champions.


"Cigar loved food. I mean, he loved it. He would prance like a king when it was feed time. He got three scoops of sweet feed in his blue bucket. The blue was to match one of the colors in his racing silks. Carrying that bucket to his feed trough was like telling a kid he was going to get to meet Santa. Every single day."
