One of the best winning streaks in the last 25 years Cigar was an amazing horse. But surprisingly he wasn't actually named after the smoking product but after a aviation acronym CIGAR, which stood for Controls,Instruments,Gas,Attitude,Run up.
I do not own any of the footage used in this video it belongs to the respective racetracks featured. This is for entertainment purposes only

I went to visit Cigar at the Kentucky Horse Park in 2000. What a majestic, champion- heart of a Lion.

Thanks for posting this. I loved Cigar. Bailey didn't have to use the whip very often, Cigar wanted to win.

He always reminded me of secretariat. I kinda wish Bailey didn't hold him back in a few of those races. The horse just wanted to run.

That horse had more power than any vehicle. He left everyone else in the dust! Doesn't look like he really needed the riding crop either, he was just naturally fast.

After they determined that Cigar was better on the dirt he took off on his winning streak. He defeated Holy Bull who was injured in that race and then retired. I saw Cigar win his two Massachusetts Handicaps and they brought him millions. Suffolk Downs then was the site of Skip Away's two straight Mass Caps but soon after the East Boston track was history. Cigar was not a very large horse but he had great conformation and determination. Unfortunately he was a dud at stud and was sent to the Kentucky Horse Farm instead.

I saw Cigar when he won the Hollywood Gold Cup. I couldn't believe how tiny he was. I tried to beat him that day. Obviously was wrong. A horse I will always remember. Not often talked about, but certainly one of the greats.

Cigar actually didn't improve from three, he just wasn't as good on the turf. He had a 95 Beyer as a young horse.

@@raygordonteacheschess5501 his top speed of 133 he was 6 years old. It was late in his 4 year old season he started hitting speeds in the upper one hundred teens and up. Early 4 year old season and as a 3 year old under 110 for most races with his top speed of 112 on 9/25/1993. Most of his races late in his 4 - 6 year old seasons he was 120ish and up for speeds. That says he got faster! And like I said my gelding Regal Relaunch didn’t hit his best speeds until he was 7!!!!!!

Maybe if he was that good as a three-year-old but he didn’t actually start this winning streak until he was four years old. Before that he only had won two of eleven races and was considered a turf horse. Some great horses only ran great when they were older that would be the case with Cigar.

@@SketchyTheHorseGuy They Paulson's started Cigar on turf because he had actually been bred for turf. But after a dismal 3 y.o. campaign they decided to switch him to dirt and the rest was history... Do your research next time before commenting.

@@jonsavage2587 What I said and what you just said about him having a dismal 3-year-old campaign was pretty similar we both agreed he didn't have a good three-year-old season. We came to very similar conclusions yet you feel the need to be rude and disrespectful. I don't really get it maybe if I "do my research next time" you'll learn some manners.
