Epitomime on Cigar

Shown here is Sharp Azteca, winner of the 2017 Cigar Mile. It brought to mind the original. I saw people's reaction to Cigar. And I share an example. When you entered Curtin's Roadside Tavern on Tremont St in Mission Hill in Boston, back in the very late 20th Century, and you saddled up to order your beer by the tap, you would see a framed poster on the wall that featured - replicated in stride, like a Muybridge albumen - running forever : Cigar! And, in the Boston intonation: "Ci -gaah!"

Have tried to pull together some thoughts on horse racing and prediction of late . This is on a sister site called Epitomime, or Epitome.
