Cigar ran in restricted races and so did Citation in that streak if you want to talk technical.

What restricted races did Cigar run in?

He never ran in a non winners race in that streak or a non winners of a race since a certain date? I could be wrong but I thought the first race was a conditioned alw race.

The first and third races in his streak were conditioned. He won a N2X right before the NYRA Mile then won a N4X before rattling off 13 consecutive stakes wins, all in open and unrestricted company.

What a racehorse

Have a feeling she's gunna love CD … just like her old man did.

And she's clearly a legit 10f runner.

Obviously a lot can happen between now and early Nov … but it'd really be something if Shirreffs can take down back-to-back Classsics with this great mare.


That said, Father Time eventually catches up to all great athletes.

Don't believe a 6-year-old has ever won the great American race...

Your post made me remember just how good a horse Street Cry really was. He's one of those under appreciated types, though I remember him only running twice at CD. A good third in the BC Juvie and a romp against Dollar Bill in the Foster.

And yeah, it's been all 3-5 year olds winning the Classic.

This is a good point, she will be nearing the end of her career if she makes it to the BC, I'm sure if she doesn't run well there, there will be many that will come out of the woodwork expounding her mediocrity. She may be just great enough to overcome that also.
