The anti racing brigade would've had a field day with such high profile horses. Great to see all involved walk away.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31868691/rich-ricci-right-decision?post_id=564597205#564597205Can just imagine if either of the falls had resulted in a fatality.

Her running style over 2m would have precluded her from being up with the pace; she'd be behind both CH and SM, I reckoned.Imagine had she not taken a bad fall at Leopardstown?

But, it will hurt them like hell given the fate of CH and SM. A different stable Lossie would have run in the Champion Hurdle eg Golden Ace.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31868691/rich-ricci-right-decision?post_id=564597103#564597103It was the correct decision.
