 The 1995 American horse of the year    
 Cigar continues to recover from the    
 setback which ruled him out of this    
 weekend's Santa Anita Handicap.        
                                        
 Trainjt Bill Mott said: "Hi is doing   
 great. Wj have fitted him with a pair  
 of shoes and we are now ready to start 
 over and begin again."                 
                                        
 Stablimbte Wjkjvb Springs, second to   
 Cigar last month, lifted Mott's morale 
 with victory in the Gulfstream Park    
 Handicap in Florida on Saturday.       
                                        
 L'Cartiire heads, like Cigar, for the  
 Dubai World Cup after running fourth in
 the Gulfstream Park event.

 Tony Dobbin was on Sunday relieved not 
 to have joined the growing list of     
 jockeys sidelined for Cheltenham.      
                                        
 The Irishman was badly shaken when hj  
 was unseated from Wind Force at        
 Doncaster and missed the ride on Great 
 Yorkshire Chase winner Addington Boy.  
                                        
 Dobbin admitted: "I feared the worst   
 when I went for X-rays last night.     
                                        
 "But they showed there is nothing      
 broken. I have just strained some      
 muscles and got some bruising. I am a  
 bit sore and it is very uncomfortable  
 so I'll just have a few days off."
