Both were very good,but Holy Bull was better.

This is a thread to honor Cigar and his legacy and memory, why are people arguing who was better?
Cmon now.

For what it's worth both Cigar and Holy Bull were great champions and were
often subjects of local TV news as part of their sportscast . Not
the time to compare these two giants they both had so many loyal fans,
both made a huge impact on the sport !
A few months ago I remember Cigar was battling cellulitis , many concerns then and still hearing the news of his death is very sad !
He lived a long , good life , very much adored and will be very missed .
.RIP Cigar !

Using great restraint, I will not use that great straight line to crack a joke in bad taste.
Tom?

He's the best horse in the 1990's, and Holy Bull didn't even deserve to be in the same shedrow as him.

Not the thread for this, but I couldn't disagree with you more. That last statement is ridiculous.

I put up a little tribute to Cigar on the home page, plus 8 video highlights from his career (scroll down a bit...hat tip for videos to fellow HB fan KirisClown), which includes an interview with Jerry Bailey, conducted by Gary Stevens, that many of you have probably already seen....
You can find it here: http://www.paceadvantage.com
