i will never forget the excitement here in boston when cigar the great race horse ran a suffolk downs man there must have been 25,000 people at the track that day for the masscap.

Cigar, born April 18, 1990 at Country Life Farm near Bel Air, Maryland, is a Hall of Fame Thoroughbred racehorse who in 1995 and 1996 became the first American racehorse racing against top-class competition to win 16 races in a row since the Triple Crown winner Citation did it in 1948 and 1950.

He is also the 2nd greatest money earner in North American history. A product of Maryland's oldest thoroughbred breeding farm, Cigar is the grandson of The Minstrel who was a son of the greatest sire of the second half of the 20th century, Northern Dancer. Out of the mare Solar Slew, who in turn was a daughter of the 1977 Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew, Cigar had the credentials to become a great race horse, but it took a few years for his greatness to materialize.
