I cried

Thank you Steve! That really was a fantastic story.. I remember that day as well and Cigar will always be my favorite modern Day horse. I remember the goosebums I would get when watching him run. The days he won his last Breeders Cup and the Dubai Cup..I cried...The people just going crazy... It was something I shall never forget as well.

It is just too bad we never got to see little Cigars carry on his name.

chasing Siphon might have had something to do with it

Haskin is a great writer . If you didn't read his story on Wanderin Boy it's worth it to find it .
