I don’t particularly care about Henderson not running the horse at Windsor, mainly because I didn’t think he would. Kempton on an all weather surface where he has won before always looked more likely.
I just don’t buy the argument that thousands of people were itching to go to Windsor to see him run but won’t bother going now. Windsor on a Saturday evening in the summer is popular anyway.
Perhaps he will boost the numbers at sparsely attended Kempton again. Although there will be the issue of who rides him. It is the same day as the Group 1 at Haydock.
