Or maybe just saying this to justify his decision to the media..

I guess we will find out tomorrow

If she loses or only just wins then he was right

If she wins on the snaff like last year I imagine there will be a few boos from the crowd

or more likely a crowd hoping the last leg of their 4 timer comes in the race that follows this!

[Old Vic]

Any paddock watchers out there ?

She looks well to my uneducated eye ?

[Hurricane fly]

Resisted the urge to lump on, but he's been pulling her back for half the race and sauntered home.

[Burrough Hill Man]

Never out of 2nd gear, still leaves a sour taste though

[riccirich]

State man must in some form if he was making her look bad at home

Indeed

I won on her and it's still annoying

Especially because I'd have been on the winner anyway with jade de grugy

Unless con hill is back to near his best they may have thrown away a champion hurdle winner

she was clearly in much better form today than at xmas

[Joeski29]

I’d hope they consider making this a handicap after that

Shades of Vautour's Ryanair performance after switching

It just needs to be a grade 2 with a 5lb or 7lb penalty on grade 1 winners

We don't need any more handicaps

Grade 2, max 150 rated. If you’re good enough, go CH or Stayers.

We don't need more handicaps after gaining 3 more already......

Agree about the handicaps, but do you think 5 or 7lb is stopping Lossiemouth?

She could have won with 15lbs on her back the way she done it.

Has to be a ratings cap, as per Mighty suggestion, IMO.

I agree. And get rid of the Mares Novice race too. They can come here or go to the Supreme/Ballymore to take on the boys. Their big Grade 1 is at Fairyhouse anyway.
