It is not looking good for Bobs Worth in the Neptne.Drifting on BETFAIR.

Another Henderson bum steer

Mentioned in his RP column on Saturday that Bobs Worth was in the Neptune, and Geraghty to ride above Minella Class. Whats changed !!!!

Pressure from Minella Class owners ???

dont mind if horses swap races for genuine reasons but feel like ive had my pants pulled well and truly down.
Report bigned March 14, 2011 11:11 PM GMT
Agreed mate. My pants are well and truly round my ankles (I just hope he is going to use lube)

Been waiting for weeks to see what he was going to do (as Minella Class did shorten a couple of weeks ago), then Saturdays Racing Post column made my mind up for me..............or not !!!!

There can be no genuine reason as you say. He must have planned this all along, nothing has changed since he wrote on Saturday.

I may well give him a piece of my mind if I "bump" into him on Thursday or Friday !!!

this carry on by trainers is dreadful

saying to the public you are going for a race and then last minute change is not on.

the punters have to be kept informed as its us who keep this game going

Henderson on the gin again,he has lost the plot!!
Report flyingbolt March 15, 2011 6:00 AM GMT
He's said all along if the ground was on the fast side he might go for the 3 miler. Which part of that didn't you understand ?
Report Minger March 15, 2011 10:03 AM GMT
Both Henderson and Geraghty said that this would go Neptune if the rain came and the ground was proper good to soft but would go Albert Bartlett if the going was quick - if you are having an antepost bet you have to cover both bases... I think it has a much better chance in the longer race.
Report Minger March 15, 2011 10:25 AM GMT
am also dubious Minella Class will run - when Neptune suspended there was only one person wanting to back it - £2 at 1000 !There was a rumour it was injured at Huntingdon - may be not recovered.
Report Minger March 15, 2011 10:47 AM GMT
... reckon there will only be 11 -15 runners in the Neptune...hoping Minella Class makes it as it is one of my better antepost chances.
Report bigned March 15, 2011 11:21 AM GMT
If you care to read Saturdays Racing Post, Henderson states that it WILL run in the Neptune and Geraghty WILL ride.

No mention of Albert Bartlett, ground , rain or anything.

I normally would believe what someone says 4 days before the race, rather than what he said 3 weeks ago. Of course in Hendersons case, this is not to be advised, as I have now learnt.

declared for the 3 miler

Tremendous stuff Nicky.

Minella Class beaten out of sight, Rock on Ruby beaten a short head

Remind us what Rock on Ruby did last time.

All thats needed now is Bobs Worth to not stay on Friday.

Top of the "treating punters with contempt" list for me now

Im in pain,pain,pain,Never felt so right and ended up so wrong.I am on it for friday,but i cant convince myself to back it for any more than to get my stake back on the Neptune.It made no difference to me,when Hendo played his games,i was on before he beat R.O.R.I have never expected anything,just that the horse is well from a trainer.These days i think a big part of the game is deception.Never believe a word,unless your paying the bills.
