Cheers for clearing that up stormey.
Not the news I wanted to hear, but c'est la vie. As far as I'm aware he was out last season with a leg / tendon injury, so at least this is unrelated - maybe he is the Jamie Redknapp of the horse racing world? He was my strong fancy for the Champion - back to the drawing board now. |

Same here Well Chief - what a shame.
2 years off will be tough to overcome. This time next year he will be 7 so not the end of the world but a return to his best perhaps improbable and fulfillment of his huge potential maybe even less likely. Grim news. one of the best novices I have ever seen and I thought multiple Champions would go his way. |

RC, I believe Henderson has said it is exceptionally unlikely he will ever race again (fwtw).

Very sad agree RC looked up there with the best novices I've seen and would have been a Champ Hurdler probably more than once

I CANT HAVE SOME OF THE ABOVE STATEMENTS HE WAS 8-1 (ISH) TO WIN CHAMP HURDLE LAST SEASON SO SAYING HE WOULD HAVE WON MULTIPLE CHAMPIONS BIG STRONG .
But it's a game of opinions  |

Thanks Strontium, how sad. Such a tough game this.
Hi Howdi, I seriously believed it! I thought he was that good and thought the world was his oyster. What a pity. |
