    Always was and still am, a Denman fan. However I have always proscribed to old adage ‘they never come back’ particularly after an severe illness or injury. No doubt someone will show me that this a mistaken policy but you have to go with your system.

    Am now in the KS camp but will not be backing him as I have had a good ew bet on Tricky Trickster and at 5/1 a place that will do me.

    Let’s face it. McCoy is not going to be taken of Denman. I, like many others, could not understand why Thomas was not given the ride however thats the way racing is. Harry enjoys the thousands of words being written and the controversy it has created but I always thought that Mr Barber would have stayed loyal to Thomas. Although Thomas has now left the Nicolls yard he has twice been called upon to ride What Friend and rode perfect races each time. He has, I understand, been booked to ride Tricky Trickster in the Gold Cup and that looks a very interesting ride now over the siff three and a quarter mile trip.
    Thomas is now stable jockey to Tom George an up and coming stable that will soon be hitting top form and has a couple of good horses with excellent chances at Cheltenham.
    Nicholls yard was good to and for him and he will have no complaints about not riding Denman. For himDenman is now history.
