Mzzzz Ruff told Cruzan "not luck" yet admits never looks at past performances so how can't it be lucky?
Funny thing about our choice of track today there was a little pressure applied that maybe due to the heat & scratches maybe a different venue would have been better 😮

"...Mzzzz Ruff told Cruzan not luck

so how cant it be lucky?
OK DEAR SWEET CONFUSED CIGARSHOP
:lightbulb: Remembering that "I played a horse but didn't do well "
has nothing to do with "checking past performances"
which I never have done and never will do
I simply remembered his name from a while back
And if I liked him then ~ why not like him today! :thumbsup: :girlkiss:

"Funny thing about our choice of track today there was a little pressure applied that
maybe due to the heat & scratches maybe a different venue would have been better 😮
:lightbulb:I DONT CONSIDER IT TO BE "PRESSURE "
By mentioning hot temperatures, humidity, cancellations and the welfare of horses
Knowledge is power and by being aware of certain conditions may reflect a change of mind
By respecting the winners choice of track I immediately confirmed and posted the venue :thumbsup:
Can I mention as a sidenote how delighted I am of his track choice ;) :evil: :kiss:
