I'm just 73 shy of that. Hope he remembers he's had a 13 yr head start!I used to think Nicholls was very open and honest. Last 12 months or so I think he has actually been quite contradictory a lot fo the time, mainly because he gets defensive when his horses are beaten.The Zarkander issue at the weekend was an examplehttps://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/27080857/paul-nicholls-humble-message-to-henderson-on-twitter?post_id=487460817#487460817I used to think Nicholls was very open and honest.

That is their angle and they all have them. Nobody would trust certain trainers an inch and treat whatever they say with a pinch of salt.

For example, we know pretty much where Nicholls horses are being aimed at the festival, you couldn't say the same for Oneil, or Mullins.https://community.betfair.com/cheltenham2011/go/thread/view/113609/27080857/paul-nicholls-humble-message-to-henderson-on-twitter?post_id=487359621#487359621Not sure anyone is potraing Nicholls as a saint, but I couldn't disagree more about "ALL trainers are the same".
