He never races anything, does he? Bobs, Sprinter, Simonsig, The Tent - all lightly raced and often injured.
The list goes on delsie his record of horses having problems is incredible recently

Too many hard races, owes connections nothing but now party is over.
looks like BW has fell out of love with racing so may be retiring.it's some going winning three consecutive years at the festival.What a great horse
This was on sporting life last night:
"Henderson is also hopeful Bobs Worth will be "there or thereabouts" when he bids to regain his crown in the Betfred Cheltenham Gold Cup.The 10-year-old clinched the blue riband with a brilliant display in 2013, taking his record at Prestbury Park to five from five and adding to his previous Festival triumphs in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle and the RSA Chase. That unbeaten run went up in smoke last March, though, as Bobs Worth inexplicably wandered up the hill he has devoured so many times in the past and on his only start since he finished a well-beaten eigthth when aiming for back-to-back victories in the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown over Christmas. However, Henderson has been pleased with what he has seen on the Seven Barrows gallops in recent weeks and is hopeful his charge will show his true colours on March 13. He said: "Things have gone according to plan with Bobs Worth. He did get a bit sick coming back from Ireland but he has done everything right now for a good three weeks. "If the ground isn't too bad the plan was to go to Newbury on Sunday. We are going to sit still with Newbury and hope it is not bottomless. If it is, we have got alternative plans. "Barry (Geraghty) said if we can get him in similar form as to what we had him in before the Lexus he will be there or thereabouts.""

Nicholls asked today at the weights lunch if Henderson had paraded Bobs Worth the other day, he knows the horse isn't right
