    Quality performance. Should have been her third in a row.

    Well done to her. Brighterdaysahead ran a cracker of a race despite pulling very hard early on. TNL is exposed at this trip and it was a good thing not to risk Constitution Hill on this much quicker ground.

    Even when she ran badly (for her) the last time, she still came second. What a mare.

    She was faultless , TNL not good enough , good run from the second but Lossiemouth loves the place doesn’t she

    “Should have been her third in a row.”

    Do you think she would have beaten State Man in 2024? 🤔

    Get In!!!
    Superstar Mare and should have been in the race last year also.

    I knew she’d reverse the form with Brighterdaysahead at her favourite track. The only horse I was worried about was The New Lion but he just wasn’t good enough.

    I thought Lossiemouth had an extremely tough race at Leopardstown but when I saw Kargese bounce back, I knew Lossie would also. Willie is an absolute genius.

    She was very good and its great to finally have her in the race. Alexei looked booked for 2nd if he didnt botch the last, connections must be delighted with him

    Glad, in receipt of 7lbs, yes I believe she would have beaten him. Also, I am not sure State Man was at his best that day. He was all out to beat Irish Point.

    It is all academic, of course. But she is another good argument for the Mares Hurdle not being at the festival. The best horses should be running in the best races, not dodging them for easier targets.

    I think she would have given him a right race and given that her best trip is 2m4f and his is 2m, she well might have outstayed him up the hill.

    Anyway, at least Rich Ricci should be able to afford a haircut now.
