Cigar Will Skip Santa Anita

Cigar, the 1995 horse of the year, will not race in the Santa Anita Handicap Saturday and his appearance in the $4 million Dubai World Cup is very much in doubt.

The 6-year-old star, who sustained a stone bruise to his right front foot early last week, requiring the draining of an abscess, walked for 45 minutes Sunday morning and had his legs hosed outside his barn at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale, Fla.
