I wonder how much Cigar is worth today? I know he's chillin at the Horse Park or whatever, but if he was for sale what do u think he would bring for no breeding value?
probably not much of anything. why would anyone want him for anything other than a tourist attraction? can't breed, too old to race.
guess you could ride to the hounds on him, like kelso!!

no clue...it's like buying the constitution or something...on it's own it's just paper...but what it stands for is another story...same for cigar.
