I don't know what happened to Cedric after the fiasco of his stud "career". I imagine Lambton was less than thrilled with the situation. Tigerboy1966 (talk) 10:06, 26 January 2012 (UTC)Reply

I'm surprised Lambton gave him three seasons. Can't prove it, but I think "inflammation" was the old catch all term for Equine colic. Poor guy must have had some redeeming features for Lambton to keep him so long. Froggerlaura (talk) 16:50, 26 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
