The connections are no idiots. I reckon if 150 was his limit I don't think they'd have taken in the Christmas Hurdle. I agree he shouldn't have gone for it but he took Lossie out of her comfort zone and she went on to set a killer pace last weekend.

I'm keeping an open mind about the Leopardstown race. I have a sneaking suspicion that State Man might have folded had she not fallen. One thing I found strange, possibly telling, was the puff of his cheeks Townend made as he crossed the line. That looked like pure relief.
