Amazing how the bookies always know we'll in advance of any announcement from this stable

Whippin Piccadilly Nov 24 13:47 

Nico, another jockey on the bookies payroll 'He's a great price' After he worked like a 90 rated handicap Chaser.

Not a great look when Hendo's saying today he's been lame for 48 hours, and Nico's saying this on the Tangerine Tintin's new vehicle on Wednesday

Tbh i am getting very very bad vibes about C.H.I hope he does come back to his best look what he did to that old warrior Stateman.

Acey new.

The bookies win again courtesy of Hendo. I hope Hendo would just retire the beast for the horse's sake, and to avoid any further loyalty money going into the bookies' satchels.

I'm no Hendo fan. He'd have done so much more with the horse eg compete in Ireland when he was sound. Now, a probable sad ending for the horse. I think it's difficult to see the horse ever competing in a serious Gp 1 race ever again.

CH will go down as one of the best, if not the best hurdlers ever.

i doubt any horse from any era would live with the horse at his best...

One thing i will say about Henderson for all his guff, he does go over to Ireland , has done for years.

Nicky Henderson: 'Too many people are trying to write Constitution Hill off and retire him - nobody is more gutted than we are'

And no a grey hair in sight.

Chemical just needs a hopped earring and that will complete the look

Altior stayed at home; Shishkin stayed at home; Buveur D'Air stayed at home. These are the only ones I can think of recently. I'm fairly certain there were a few others too.

Give me Henderson over Nicholls any Day of the Week.

Give me NTD any day. Hendo and Pumpkin both are just as bad; the latter repeatedly eulogises his horses and runs them to the well too often probably for a percentage of prize money.

First and foremost, am I talking through my pocket? You bet I am. I bet CH for the FF on Tuesday at 13-8 with 365. Red flag when, immediately there was no cash out option. Never EVER seen that before with them. Of course connections are spouting "all is well" in fact Nico was saying on Wednesday he'll strip fitter after the workout and with another workout next week, all will be fine. BS. Will any racing presenter ask NJH the serious questions like, " how come all the bookmakers knew days before that he won't run in the FF? No chance. Syncophants the whole lot. This has been a total shambles for the punters, the guys that turn the wheels of this industry. Disgraceful from Seven Barrows

Sorry Willie but anyone backing that a/p is getting zero sympathy from me.

Swerved badly right and lost many lengths start, soon recovered to get in touch 2nd, ridden 4th and soon tailed off


It was the Punchestown Festival that it ran no race. Did finish 4th but really was never in the hunt. Can remember watching in the bookmakers. It had won the stayers at the festival in its previous race.

Can also remember watching the chepstow win in the bookies, never a seconds worry...haha, i do miss being in the bookies sometimes.

My memory is not a good as i thought..lol...the race he finished lame in was his next outing after that chepstow rout...
