    Nicky should take a role with one of the racing channels when he retires
    what a man, could listen to that Ronnie Corbett voice of his all day

    He should get his own chair, à la Ronnie.

    Just make sure it isn’t too soft.

    Hes a first class trainer who some jockeys feel is the most naturally talented in these isles and a genuine nice bloke too

    He is too cautious with runnings and does get in a bad muddle with his pr. His Cheltenham comments irked

    That’s it really

    I get the irritation but not the hate

    Well, well , well.
    Firstly both horses in today’s race deserve every credit. Enthralling duel.
    Some chaps will perhaps now be eating humble pie.

    I’m definitely eating humble pie, I thought one of the two of ’em would duck it.

    I was also fully expecting Shishkin to be directed elsewhere. Delighted to have been wrong.

    To be fair to Nicky Henderson, Shishkin ran here and both Constitution Hill and Jonbon have run in Graded Novice Hurdles this month.

    All the time Henderson respects the Pattern in the Jump racing calendar and doesn’t simply put them away for Cheltenham, I don’t have an issue with him.

    Agreed Ian, the only things I can think of that I don’t like about Henderson is what he sometimes says about reasons for running or not running a horse doesn’t make sense. May have valid reasons for running or not running, just not the ones he sometimes uses…

    But he’s far from the only one seemingly doing that.

    Henderson constantly mentioning that Shishkin shouldn’t have met Energumene “this early” was depressing. I hope he retires soon, for the good of the sport.

    This forum has absolutely died recently. Wonder why.

    May be the “depressing” anti-Henderson rubbish has something to do with why so few posts?

    “This forum has absolutely died recently. Wonder why.”

    When I first read this in 2008 the main answer seemed to be the introduction of twitter

    Henderson was banging in the winners back then too

    By the way Mullins was no different, he wants his horses to have easy routes, picking up easy money along the way.
    I think most if not all trainers would look at which is the easily races that they can pick up prize money. I hope they all retire for the good of the sport.

    “This forum has absolutely died recently. Wonder why.”

    I just thought it had been a quiet week, with you a notable absentee, TTC.

    But I wasn’t worried – I assumed you’d switched yourself to Nicky Henderson’s yard and were saving yourself for Cheltenham.

    Maybe you’ll be online for the Game Spirit a week tomorrow, or will that be too close to the “Fez?”

    A couple of dipsticks above, Messrs Hughes and Gingernut, don’t realise the low traffic is because the racing is currently pants, due to the obsession with a bloated March festival.

    Sorry to disappoint TTC.
