This race had two of my favorite horses all-time (Outside of Secretariat) Cigar and Thunder Gulch. Also thank Thunder Gulch for Point Given. Thanks for posting.

@Rodney81818 I agree. Cigar, Thunder Gulch and Holy Bull were my favorites. Got to meet them all this past November when I took an early vaction. They're all still beautiful.

One of horse racing's greatest regrets.

What a duel in the stretch if thunder gulch doesn't break down! Wow!

Another nice horse, Thunder Gulch, that broke down trying to keep up with the graceful galloper that was Cigar.

If Thunder Gulch hadn't fractured his leg in this race, I think he could've beat Cigar or at least gave him a run for his money. They were both awesome horses and I miss seeing them race.

Note one of the oldest tricks in the book...Star Standard's jock floats seven wide off the rail around the turn to try and gain a few strides..but Cigar would have none of it...the fact that he won the JCGC and then the BC Classic in such dominant style is a testament to his greatness..
