    At least we were saved the farce of Nicky taking CH out this morning due to the change in going.

    State Man ‘boosted’ to Evens on 365, right now.

    Somehow I think Henderson would have let him run. It is “The Only Day That Matters” after all. ;-)

    State Man will obviously probably win, but value is value.

    I have massive prices on both Iberico Lord 30 and Nemean Lion 38.

    Done Nemean Lion in the betting without market too at 10/1, with savers on Iberico Lord and part saver on Irish Point.

    Good performance by State Man, but what a disgraceful comment by Mullins about Henderson.! :negative:

    A deserved win for a tough, genuine, high-class hurdler.

    But Constitution Hill would have beaten him a furlong.

    W.Mullins on ITV, just now, on the win without Constitution Hill running in it:
    “To win a Champion Hurdle you’ve got to turn up”.

    Ouch!

    Ginger, nothing a lot of TRF’s have not said themselves
    However I agree that Mullins should be more gracious in victory

    State Man has won more grade 1s than Constitution Hill has had races !

    Despite this not being the most memorable of Champion Hurdles, State Man is a deserving champion and I’m pleased he’s had his day.

    HDLG – On that ground I am not sure even CH would have won as far as last year, let alone further.

    State Man’s fourth race this season. He seemed all right, though. ;-)

    Very surprised he didn’t go off 1/4 or even shorter. What was going to beat him?

    “State Man has won more grade 1s than Constitution Hill has had races !”

    Exactly. Mullins runs his horses. I know it would be good if there was a bit more competition but fair play to him.
