You can only hope to get a good spot and wait for a hole to open. I guess today it came a bit too late.
I didn't get into this game because I loved horses. But when I found Cigar I came to love horses. He was so genuine, so charismatic.
I was concerned with him lugging in there and 'would he rate'? He struggled a bit with the track, but it didn't surprise me. He is a big, heavy horse. He came home a little slow, but they went pretty fast in the earlier part.
