"And Cigar wants to go to the lead but (Jockey) Jerry Bailey says, 'No... Not yet!'" - Sheer mid-race brilliance by track announcer Tom Durkin

"...and Cigar wants to go to the lead but Jerry Bailey says ´no...no yet..." (1:02 to 1:06) "...¡CIGAR...! ¡...CIGAR MAKES HIS MOVE AND SWEEPS TO THE LEAD...!" (1:30 to 1:33) Tom Durkin What an extraordinary Breeder´s Cup Classic call! Twenty seven years later, is still getting to me goosebumps! Greetings from Venezuela

@@gutzzgutzz6795 there is literally an abundance of compilations for Tom’s best and all time calls, most including this classic with Cigar, and 2 back to back memorable classic calls with Tiznow, and one I’ll remember forever, “STREET SENSE IN DEEP WATERS!”, truly gave way to what an amazing victory it was for Curlin, which Trevor had a good call for him in the classic I admit, but the list goes on and on for Tom, no disrespect to Trevor but Tom is truly the best .

This race is crazy because not only is cigar a GORILLA , but also the last son of Secretariat is in this race "Tinners Way" he got 7th but came back after this race & won a grade 1 @hollywood park "Californian Stakes" 1996. Which would be his last win of his career. Wow 90s was a fun era for horse racing

"It was very meaningful. It was probably his biggest win, because it meant a perfect season, 10-for-10, and Horse of the Year. It was probably more important even than Dubai. Dubai was important. Don´t get me wrong. But there´s something about a perfect season" Bill Mott (July 29, 1953 - )

Cigar... But there is one best place to bury your horse. One place that is best of all. If you bury him in this spot, the secret of which you must already have, he will come to you when you call -- come to you over the grim, dim frontiers of death, and down the well-remembered path, and to your side again. And though you call a dozen living horses to your side they shall not whinny at him, nor resent his coming, for he is yours and he belongs there. People may scoff at you, who see no lightest blade of grass bent by his footfall, who hear no neigh pitched too fine for mere audition, people who may never really have had a horse. Smile at them then, for you shall know something that is hidden from them, and which is well worth knowing. The one best place to bury a Horse is in the heart of its master.

Such a shame that the BC media people are just going through the motions, failing to see the need to POST THE ENTIRE CLASSIC RACE CARD below "Cigar wins the 1995 Breeders' Cup Classic at Belmont Park." That is, list the names and numbers of the horses, and the jockeys on them, in the race. Post the EXACT and FULL date of the race. Post the ORDER OF FINISH, with the purse monies won. It's a miracle they can remember how to get to work in the morning (find their office, that is. What they don't do when they do get there is obvious). Seriously, these people sincerely wonder why they've lost - at least - 50% of their clients and the racing public since 1990, and why racing is now a dump. ***** R.I.P. Cigar. Too bad your standards were mysterious to the people mentioned above. It never was to your fans, not for a minute.
