I was lucky enough to see Cigar up close in the paddock at Arlington Park.
I'm not an expert on equine body language, but he had a charisma to him that was palpable. Every inch of him oozed confidence, intelligence and class.
Truly the greatest horse I've ever seen in person.
What a shame that he was infertile...it would have been fascinating to see how his offspring performed.
RIP to a great champion.
