I am a fan of Cigar. He was a super star. He couldn't help it if everyone was ducking him. It's not like he was running in Optional Claimers

It did make for some boring competetion.
Obviously a great horse. But its fun
to watch races when the outcome is in doubt.
There just was not any doubt with him as I remember.
I can remember people saying, this is all set up.
Who cares about racing its all a big set up. They all
take a fall for him. My friends at that time said it
was a big bore... It was hard to convince them that
the horse was really just too good.
And Bailey. They hated Bailey. Said the horse made Bailey.
All kind of silly. I can remember people saying they should
give him a jockey made of lead to make it fair also.
