Description:
The first of Cigar’s 15 stakes wins came at 9-1 odds in the race that now bears his name, the Cigar Mile Handicap, which goes to show how pivotal the 1994 edition of Aqueduct’s NYRA Mile would be for the horse, his connections, and for Thoroughbred racing at large over the next two years.
