CIGARSHOP CHIRPS
"...Mzzzz Ruff told Cruzan “not luck”
yet admits never looks at past performances "
so how can’t it be lucky?

OK DEAR SWEET CONFUSED CIGARSHOP

  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!

"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 

            Can I mention as a sidenote how delighted I am of his track choice
