Name the horse that Mike Smith chose to ride in the 1994 NYRA mile instead of Cigar, for whom the race is now named.

Personal Ensign defeated males in the 1988 Whitney Handicap at Saratoga. There were actually only two other horses in the race. Name them.

In 1993 Shug McGaughey won 5 graded stakes race on one program at Belmont. He also had an allowance winner on that card named Regal Solution. Miners Mark won the JCGC, Lure won the Kelso, Strolling Along won the Lawrence Realization, Heavenly Prize won the Frizette, and Dispute won the Beldame.
There was only one other grade one on that program, the Champagne, and McGaughey's horse ran third. Name the winner and McGaughey's horse who ran 3rd.

No idea..... way too, ummm.... hard.
