    Well they might have got in trouble in the big CH field. It’s possible Benie wouldn’t have had the pace to get up as well. Honeysuckle…maybe. Remember the Apple’s/Laurina hype when both ran over a suboptimal trip in the champion hurdle and did no good. As opposed to the fab Apples/VVM/Limini dingdong finish in the mares that was fun to watch. I’d much rather see Honeysuckle and Benie fighting out a good finish over their favoured 2m4f than getting swamped in the CH field.

    Managed to finally log back in.
    That was sweet from Honeysuckle.

    Read my post on March 5, 2020 at 05:55. Nothing more to add. B-)

    *OK not a totally fair comparison as Laurina is perhaps a leetle bit of a carthorse compared to Benie, and perhaps Laurina bled and Apples was in season or something. But still.

    Tbh having watched the race I dont think either of them wouldve had any chance at all in the champion hurdle, especially with how easily epatante won
