    Just to stir the pot, rather surprised that with the state of the ground today we haven’t had a flood of Nicky Henderson non runners! Be curious to see if they all stand their ground at Newbury.

    Surprised they didn’t abandon Newbury altogether considering the good to firm places mentioned in the official going description….surely a serious welfare issue based on previous comments when Ascot’s Coral Hurdle meeting was good, good to soft in places and deemed a welfare issue.

    I guess the trainers that are running horses in the 16 runner Betfair today have £87k reasons why they are willing to risk it…including incidentally the two trainers (with 3 runners between them) that were the most vocal about the state of Ascot’s ground. :unsure:

    Who’d had thunk it!

    Spot on LD73. Remember, Henderson said he would not run anything in his yard on the Ascot ground.

    When Zanza breaks standard by 13.5 seconds you know that’s actually Firm ground.

    If there’s a big pot at stake and the horse is not likely to win a G1 at Chelters then its legs are immune to firm ground doncha know.
