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.

wilheim does he have the record for most wins in a row i think he won 16 or 17 straight races

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.
