How complicated is this? Did Lossiemouth come here because they thought they had no chance of nesting Constitution Hill? or I'd it because the think State Man has gone downhill? After there first meeting Paul Townend said she'd never beat him again...last time he never turned up so it's ot begs the question which one will he opt to ride if he is given the vhoice..add BDA to the mix of she runs and it complicated things even further. The mind boggles
 
The reason Willie gave for pulling her today (and Capodanno) was that he didn’t want to send them across the Irish Sea given the weather forecast. Yet Gentemansgame and Delta Work run
 
Maybe they are better travellers than she is. If she got stressy with a long and rough crossing, then that's her race over. Fillies/mares are more prone to getting worked up (my Kayf Tara mare gets lit up at the smallest noise whereas dear old Reg while he will spook at a new leaf lying on the ground, generally isn't fazed by much)
