Do we think State Man and/or Vauban will beat Honeysuckle in the Irish equivalent??

Will be close between the 3 of them. I don't think Honeysuckle actually ran any worse last time than she has done in the Hattons Grace in the past. Back down to 2m at Leopardstown will see her in a better light. If she beats those two, it could be the best win of her career.Originally posted by Lobos View PostComment

I think it will have to be pretty much her best to beat both.Originally posted by DenmanSacre View Post
They are both young and improving and at her age she’s vulnerable to those sorts. And they do look pretty good to
me.Comment

I agree.Originally posted by Carnage at Taunton View Post
I feel like one of them needs to win the race well (if all 3 met) for me to think any of them can beat Constitution Hill though now... if they finished fairly closely matched, I'd probably be thinking that they're 3 really good horses, up against a great horse.... unlikely we have 4 great horses.
If one thrashed the others though, I'd think that maybe we had 2 great horses....
Which I want to see, to make it exciting and at least give me a chance of 1/2 about Constitution Hill

Loved to see Honey win it but can see Vauban improving past her. Was really impressed with him in defeat today. None of them will touch CH though. The only way he doesn't win is if he gets injured or something goes wrong in the race itself.Comment

I'd say there's a reasonable chance that honeysuckle will be retired if she is beaten comfortably again in the Irish championComment

I saw a Facebook group yesterday or status from one of the groups on there and read through the comments as you do (if you don't, don't....I always regret it even without commenting
) and it seemed like absolutely everyone was taking Vauban out of the race...
It started annoying me in the end to the point where I wanted to get involved and just declare State Man is clearly better.... but realised I don't believe that and Vauban might end up improving past him... which is genuinely what I thought pre-season... and now I'm annoyed that other people agree

That post made me smile, i often find myself doing very similar ! I also think vauban was the one to take from the race.Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostI saw a Facebook group yesterday or status from one of the groups on there and read through the comments as you do (if you don't, don't....I always regret it even without commenting) and it seemed like absolutely everyone was taking Vauban out of the race...

Obviously that goes without saying, the first statement, the second one, time will tell ! They're both gonna have to he pretty special to get near Constitution Hill though !Originally posted by Kevloaf View PostAll my posts should make you smile!
State Man is better

Deleted Facebook for this very reason, although not horse racing comment related. Just found myself spending time on there getting annoyed by other people's comments
Hoping most people, including Townend, stick with State Man tbhComment
