Hidden behind the RP Members paywall – has intruiged me, can anyone shed any light? Thanks in advance.
BUY THE SUN
No idea, but we could start a rumour.
I’m hearing Jonbon and Constitution Hill had a fight in a car park outside a pub in Lambourn on Friday night.
Reports vary over the underlying reasons for the feud.
Some say it was over Epatante, others claim it was over which had the better prospects in the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle, but given both are geldings and neither will see which way Dysart Dynamo went, it’s more likely the dispute was over whether white sugar lumps are superior to brown ones.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Henderson has said he thinks the ground may not be suitable at Cheltenham and he is worried about him having a hard race, so he is just going to have a racecourse gallop at Newbury instead.
Hiya
From the paywall article –
The thing is, there was a rumour. At this time of year there often is. Not for the first time this week a leading festival fancy had been a notable betting exchange drifter. For a while on Saturday morning Betfair customers could back Jonbon to win the Sky Bet Supreme Novices’ Hurdle at around 10-1. Did that mean something was wrong with the horse? Was a defection announcement imminent? Was he heading instead to the Ballymore?
They’ve all asked me today and I’ve told them all the same – go and ask AP,” said a friendly but exasperated Henderson. “I’ve had ten people ask me since I came through the door. Does it surprise me? No. It’s the betting boys just playing games, isn’t it?Rumour set up by the owner’s mates in order to get a better price?
Value Is Everything“Go and ask AP” surely must be something like a running gag. The bloke surely has no idea what Nicky does with his horses.
Quality, Alan.

When they turned up at the racecourse the next day the authorities tested them and said they were unfit to race, but that they were fine to drive….
“Worked like a champ” or “Worked like Champ”?
That one letter makes a big difference!
