Cigar 1990 Bay Thoroughbred Stallion Palace Music X Solar Slew (Seattle Slew) Breeder/Owner: Allen E. Paulson On loan to the KY Horse Park from: Assicurazioni Generali S.P.A. Trainer: William I. Mott Accomplishments Voted Horse of the Year 1995 and 1996 Voted Champion Older Horse 1995 and 1996 Tied record of 16 consecutive wins Voted Racehorse of the Decade of the 1990s Voted 18th best Racehorse of the 20th Century Unbeaten season in 1995, winning 10 out of 10 races All time leading money winner at retirement Nov. 9, 1996 Grade 1 wins include: Dubai World Cup, Breeder’s Cup Classic, Woodward Stakes (twice), Jockey Club Gold Cup, Oaklawn Handicap, Pimlico Special, Donn Handicap (twice), Gulfstream Park Handicap, NYRA Mile, and Hollywood Gold Cup This shot was probably one of the most difficult that I took during my 2005 visit to the Kentucky Horse Park. I failed to see the Legends exhibition at its showing time, so I was forced to visit these horsey greats through the TINY mesh wiring of their stall doors. Cigar himself spent several moments nuzzling me through about an inch of space and I managed to kiss his soft nose before something caught his attention out his stall window. Luckily enough for me, I was able to jam my lens through the mesh just enough to catch this shot without the obscurity of metal all in the way.  |

 reports, 1d 22h agoDaily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you  the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.67 Inspirational Photography Desember*Sortvind
