In memory of the great Cigar, who has died at the age of 24, I share his greatest performance. Dubai had the longest homestretch in the world, and in the 1996 Dubai World Cup, the richest race in history and one contested by the greatest horses in the world, Cigar fought the length of it with Burt Bacharachs wonderful Soul of the Matter. In an epic battle, Cigar lost the lead, then dug down, fought back and won, something you almost never see in racing. I spoke to a veterinarian who visited him the next morning. He said Cigar was so exhausted he didnt lift his head from the stall floor. He gave everything he had, every time.
