Sizing John case makes you wonder how many horses are running over clearly unsuitable trips?

It seems rather obvious now that Sizing John has been running over the wrong trip for most of his life.

That surely has to be the logical conclusion, following the seven-year-old’s victory in the three miles plus Stan James Irish Gold Cup at Leopardstown last Sunday.

We are all geniuses after the fact, of course, and there was nothing particularly obvious about this, until Jessica Harrington decided to try something different over the last few weeks.
