    Although we’ll never know for sure. She wouldn’t have made an inch on him up the hill imo.
    He beat her easy at Punchestown also. Like Hurricane Fly, State Man has never been one for flashy long distance wins.

    Moscow Flyer never won by much either and nobody doubts his greatness.

    “he only beat her 4 3/4ls in Punchie. Hurricane Fly would’ve beaten Golden Ace 3 legged.”

    At the same age (8yo). Hurricane got beaten by both Rock on Ruby and Overturn.

    State man would’ve beaten him at Cheltenham imo but it would be touch and go at Leopardstown/Punchestown.

    Yes’ he’d have beaten Golden Ace easy in Ireland but only as far as he needed to.
