"It's blown Nicky Henderson out of the water now.
"Any good race would do, but this is the race we wanted."
The Alex Ferguson of NH racing. Does winning the jump trainer's title matter that much? No doubt if NC was beaten a nose, Nicholls would have had him out again in the Scottish National, along with countless other horses of his, despite gruelling seasons, in pursuit of the required prize money.

It's not a rant, it's re-publishing a quote and suggesting it's pretty distasteful.

Give him a break, he is obviously delighted with the performance

it's a rant imo .

I agree - one of his first comments when questioned post race.
Really showed him up as the greedy man that his waistline clearly demonstrates. |

By:

To be fair, it was said in a jocular manner but did n't come across well - he did have a mike shoved under his nose within seconds/minutes of the photo announcement - I'm sure he'd give a more measured response with more time to reflect.

To true. truly horrid man. NJH will surely walk the trainers title next season though with all the class horses there nicholls will have a lot less ammo than of late and that will irk the fat smug man as his pr machine will have to work a bit harder to get his owners to buy him some more. Sorry just cant stand the bloke or anyone connected to him.(apart from hales who has some class in retiring neptunes) bet pfn will try get him to change his mind

Poor from Nicholls - as was his face when Daryl Jacobs said he felt sorry for Richie....really put me off him.
Arrogant t0sser |

Your hatred for SIR Alex Ferguson and Paul Nicholls, champion trainer needs addressing before it eats you up.

I'm not so sure he'd come up with anything more measured after a week and a ghost-writer to assist....

Poor judgement from Nicholls.

My deepest sympathies to you for being such an ardent fan. Nicholls will probably bring back KS yet for another tilt at the KG. Surprised he hasn't got Denman patched up to race again. |

Far from being GRACIOUS -
But that's not his way. |

I`m sure none of you guys would have thoughts like that hey load of gossips aunt nellys.
|
|
By:
He celebrated like a soccer hooligan.....absolutely classless individual.....wouldnt mind he more than likely dont train it.....some satellite yard about 55 miles away maybe....
|
|
By:
i heard this 2day...wud someone please tell me what a satellite yard is please?
|

Young gun respect all

OP: what is your point? What a load of nonsense. Just won The National after thinking his CT was down the drain. And why would he take NC to Ayr had he lost? Rubbish.

ffs get a life,Johnnyrant. He'd just won the National.

well done team nichols

keep taking the tablets team nicky

Anyways must dash Black Coffee to place young gun

By:
It did sound a bit strange but only within the context of no-one ever wanting to say give anything other than bland pat comments to the press
|
|
By:
Calm down...who cares?
|
|
By:
Richters.....a satellite yard is when somebody with a fat head takes credit that he shouldnt.....horses are trained in a fat heads name even though they are 30 miles away.....it allows people to pretend that they trained a champion hurdle winner....
|
|
By:
Then, when so called "fathead" retires, let's look out for his successor.

i was thinking it was sumthin like that wildman....lol....just goes to show how bad hurricane fly run when you seen ror 2day....

ffs get a life,Johnnyrant. He'd just won the National. I have a great life thanks fb. It was a tasteless comment - if you can't see that then more fool you. Try posting something more intelligent in future by way of a response. Thanks. |

Did someone say John Hales had class?
Eh? Remember- This is the man who once said of the great Moscow Flyer "We put him on the floor..." when Azerty beat the great one. Excuse me.... |
|
By:
Should have added- MF fell in that race.
|
|
By:
so you would rather have a trainer like Henderson win the title? A man who left his assistants and vet (lost his livelihood) to carry the can for drug offences? Who laid all his horses to lose at the 2011 Festival? Who f**ked up the appearance of Binocular in the 2011 Champion Hurdle?
Henderson has as much loyalty as a turkey chef on Christmas Day. |
|
By:
Never been a fan of Nicholls and I can see where you are coming from but having said that nice to see an honest comment slipping out from the bag of wind. Much better than 'Nicky's a super bloke and a great trainer.....blah blah'.
|
|
By:
What has Henderson got to do with my OP, pedrobob? Nicholls proved himself a classless, graceless victor. That was my point. This is a man hellbent on winning and who will clearly go to any extreme to try and secure the title. I'd suggest his single-minded, obsessive ambition comes before the welfare of his horses at times. He lacks magnanimity which makes him the worst sort of 'champion'.
