JUST because a particular decision is a nice decision to have land in your lap, it doesn’t mean that it is an easy one. Take your seven-year-old daughter into Auntie Nellie’s Sweet Shop and tell her than she can have one thing. See how long that one takes.

Hurdles or fences this season for Samcro? There are strong arguments for both paths. Samcro was obviously box office last season as a novice hurdler. He won the Deloitte Hurdle and the Ballymore Hurdle, and he probably would have won the Champion Hurdle at Punchestown had he not come down at that third last flight. If he had stood up and won that, the decision on this season’s path might have been easier.
