The same problem foot that sidelined the superhorse Cigar earlier this year has flared again. Cigar has “a little bruise or an abscess” in his right front foot, his owner, Allen Paulson, said. Although the injury does not appear serious, according to Paulson, any significant time lost could keep Cigar from the $1 million Hollywood Gold Cup at Hollywood Park on June 30.

High winds and choppy water on the Detroit River delayed the start of the Gold Cup unlimited hydroplane race for 6 hours, before Dave Villwock piloted his Pico-American Dream to a first-place finish Sunday with a speed of 149.328 mph to retain his season points lead.
