I remember cutting a trip short to Atlantic City just so I could drive up and bet Cigar in the NYRA Mile at Aqueduct...I believe I got 8-1 on him that day...I still pride myself in that...

I was a little later to the party than you were, and you'll kill me for this, but I bet Cigar when he ran in the Donn against Holy Bull, off the NYRA Mile performance. I can't remember what he paid, but I think it was 5 to 2 or something.
(I also took 4 to 5 on Cigar twice, in the 1995 Hollywood Gold Cup and the Breeders' Cup Classic. He was obvious both times and I thought the price an overlay. But anyone could have come up with that.)
