As much as I am desperate to see Sprinter Sacre return to a racecourse, 99% of me says it won't be this weekend. If anything the weather is just going to get worse and Henderson has made it very clear he won't risk him on ground that is too soft. Dodging Bullets currently trading at 5/2 and 9/4 in most places and would be lying if I was to say I'm not tempted because if SS gets pulled out (highly likely) DB goes into evens or thereabouts.

I agree, Dodging Bullets is definitely tempting with a good chance Sprinter doesn't turn up. Even if he does, there is also the chance he needs the run or isn't the same horse.

Huge drift on Sacre today. As big as 7/4 now. Dodging Bullets now best priced 7/4.

Makes no sense as the weather forecast looks dry after rain tomorrow. He should be running. But as they say no smoke without fire.

I'd sooner back Somersby at the prices to make up the 2 1/2 lengths at a track he runs well at...an unknown for DB.....SS can't be winning, the betting suggests not only has he had the issues that we all know about, it also says that all his legs have dropped off.

Henderson has a long history of wrapping his good horses in so much cotton wool he can't find them. It's pretty obvious from the market the horse isn't running, but he really ought to have the decency to make an announcement. Tbh if he doesn't run this weekend, I wonder if he will ever run again. If he is healthy, as they keep telling us, it just makes no sense to pull him out. Soft ground would inconvenience Dodging Bulletts more than him. Sprinter is a huge horse with dinner plate feet and soft ground doesn't bother him a bit. The ground is very likely to be even worse at Newbury.
