      Fair enough, each to their own.

      Even if it turns out to be a procession , would be a pleasure for me personally to see State Man putting on a performance live at the track.

        Nice empty bar. I'll run out and clap him up the hill.

          Surely you’ll know as much as any other anything can happen in a race mate. It’s the champion hurdle ffs!

          You would have watched it if Constitution Hill was running though? That would have been uncompetitive wouldn’t it?

            I wouldn't have......didn't last year, live that is. Watched it on the TV in the bar. There will be a few more during the week that won't float my boat.

                Sadly I don't think he's ever going to reach those heights now.

                • I’m as gobsmacked as CAT Lobos! Haha!

                  It was his first champion hurdle, he hammered a 165+ hurdler 9 lengths and you were sat in the bar on the racecourse? Why bother going

                    Need to pace myself. I could see him coming up the Hill out the window. That was enough.

                            Well I would have serious regrets if that were to happen, and I sat in a bar surrounded by piss heads, when I had the chance to watch him in the flesh live in a Champion Hurdle.

                            Luckily we still have more opportunities to see him strut his stuff. He’s still a youngster.

                              Well I would hope it is as most would be actually watching the horses out on the track.
