Damn it! I hope not... I LOVE Cigar! He was my ultimate favorite horse. I see a couple people mentioning it as well so it looks like the official word will come soon

Nothing "official", but it's all over the net so I guess it's true. RIP pretty boy

Bill Mott via text confirmed that Cigar has died. Sad. Tremendous horse.

Thanks for the memories big fella, Rest in Peace.

Saw him race in person several times, at GP and two BCs, as well as that Pacific Classic. Met him close up at KHP as well. A true champion.
