DAYTON DAILY NEW.S Um WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 19 TELEVISION HORSE RACING CBS Sports president fired Cigar sold to Irish group Voted Horse of the Year in 1995, Cigar won 19 of 33 career starts. He will stand in 1997 for a fee of $75,000 per live foal and is expected to cover about 100 mares his first season. Paulson said he sold Cigar to Coolmore only because of the outstanding reputation of the farm's manager, Robert Sangster. "They have a record second to none in marketing stallions and a worldwide network of very successful clients," Paulson said. Cigar will make his final public appearance at Churchill Downs on Saturday.

Paulson's Brookside Farm in Versailles. "I have a lot of good mares to put him to, and he'll be right next door," said Paulson, who earlier turned down a $30 million offer to sell Cigar to Japanese interests. The deal, contingent on Cigar passing a veterinary examination, is yet to be signed. Cigar retired with career earnings of $9,999,815, just $185 shy of $10 million, after an unmatched career. He won 17 of his last 20 races, including a two-year string of 16 consecutive victories that tied the modern record of Citata-tion.

'r The now-retired horse earned nearly $10 million in an unmatched career. VERSAILLES, Ky. (AP) Cigar will still be a neighbor. On Tuesday, it was announced that Allen Paulson has sold 75 percent of his superstar racehorse to Coolmore Farms of Ireland in a deal valued at about $25 million. Cigar, who retired after he finished third in the Breeders' Cup Classic last month, will stand at Ashford Stud, Coolmore' American division and adjacent to needs only to sign a contract to complete the move.

Sources close to McManus called it a "done deal," although IMG, stunned by its suddenness, would like the transaction to be completed later rather than sooner. Meanwhile, the network's decision to dismiss Kenin comes at a crucial time for TV rights negotiators. Only one more season is left in the NFL's $4.42 billion TV package, and preliminary negotiations for a new one already have begun. As soon as the Super Bowl is over, they will get serious. "There's no question that the NFL is proven to be the lifeblood of a network," said Marty Ehrlich, a former associate of McManus at IMG and now a senior vice president at the media conglomerate Marquee Group.

"Sean is a buyer now. He was a seller before, but he was also a vice president at NBC. When a person in that capacity has sat on both ends of the table, you can only think it would make him an extremely qualified individual to spearhead the network's effort." McManus, 42, son of ABC sportscaster Jim McKay, came to IMG from NBC in 1987 and has been involved in rights negotiations for the Olympics and other major TV packages involving golf, baseball, college football and tennis. He is known among co-workers as the "kingpin of big TV negotiations." David Kenin will be replaced by IMG negotiator Sean McManus. By John Nelson ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK Once again, the National Football League is up for grabs, and CBS is looking for someone to grab it.

It might have found the person in veteran national Management Group negotiator Sean McManus, who apparently will replace David Kenin as CBS Sports president as soon as IMG and CBS can agree on his start-up date. On Tuesday, CBS senior vice president of communications, Gil Schwartz, confirmed Kenin "will be moving on from the presidency of CBS Sports." Schwartz said CBS would not comment on its search for a successor. News of Kenin's dismissal comes 2V4 years after he replaced Neal Pilson at the head of a sports department that had lost, in succession, the NBA, major league baseball and finally the NFL in December 1993.
