Cigar was bred for grass though he had broken his miaden on dirt with a pretty good number. His sire Palace Music was a turf runner though he never sired much other than Cigar. Cigar was running consistently in the upper 90's beyerwise for Hassinger and mid 70's for Mott. Interestingly enough he didnt race on Lasix when he came to NY but that excuse was blown out of the water by the two huge dirt races w/o lasix (the alw race and the NYRA mile)
