![]() in general most horses of 2010 suck in comparison to 1993-94, at least in the male division where they are carted off after 6 starts.

Zenyatta's first Apple Blossom win was very impressive but she hasn't faced top horses on dirt frequently enough to really make a fair comparison to any dirt closer. Synthetic tracks have probably given her an edge but her durability and trainer's conditioning shouldn't be taken for granted in a remarkable career. |

![]() Cigar's best career race was his last one. Parked wide the entire away on a golden rail, and his class puts him in the mix right at mid-stretch. No, he wasn't trying to pass Citation, but to be so wide, after a year and a career like that, and to still have a shot down the stretch is pretty cool.

![]() Look at the early pace in the race.. 23.72, 46.48...way too fast for Holy Bull, once he realized how good Cigar was, he broke down out of sheer fright. 1995 Donn + Post Race: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsUUesICLMg |
