Henderson - Nico DB boil overs

Look whats going on in the 1.15.

Hendo FAV 3.5 out to 7.6, 2nd string ridden by Bowen been backed from 34.0 into 20.0 and there was money up all night for it.

As Mick Fitzgerald said on TV last weekend: "Nico is a 100% team player".

When god was handing out brains you must have thought he said trains and asked for Stephenson's Rocket!!

The spurs George not you btw.

if nico wasn't on everybody's radar after sandown he is now ....

Henderson horses are often stupid short prices. Even with the weight concession there was nothing between those four horses to justify That's Nice price. Nowadays I tend to avoid his short priced horses especially when the race looks hot, I just don't trust him and how shtye did that end up running??

He resembles a cardboard cutout tbh…..looks good like most on a point and shoot……

ps. he is bound the win the next; the form hex will now kick in

*forum*

Young Bowen is 7lb better imo…..

yeah the betting gods will be watching stormy , hendos do tend to go off shorter than they should , the media love em !  but on the plus side his make the market ,he will obviously get lots of winners given the ammo but value often elsewhere !

shorter than they perhaps should^^^

Bowen much better. Nico just goes really wide and presses the lead on the ones that have to win.

Is that the same Bowen who managed to get Jonbon beaten at 1/4 Quixall? Couldn't get him to jump a twig?

And the same Nico who won on the Bradstock horse last week Trusty?

Short memories and attention spans on this cesspit.

skeltons bang in form his un looks a big price here imo

LOL

it remains the greatest ........oh you know by now !

out wide and pressed the lead - BINGO

Gotta love the forum hex... rarely lets one down!

jango baie 5/4 drifted suspiciously to 7/4..... bolted in

Laid i/r out to 3/1 at least, not sure what race they were watching!

Point and shoot material no big deal tbh…

if hendo/db combo ran 50 even money shots at least 25 would get beat. same as any other trainer/jockey combo. but hendo/db do have that many even money chances each season, so everyone remembers their whopping number of 25+ losers

I'm sure your right. Same with Skelton, the bookies are often very short on both trainers favs. As foyles said just need to look for value elsewhere.

I don't know what happened to Wilmount but 3.7 out to 12.5

staff in hendo,s yard would steal the last ROLO of their dying granny and laugh in their face whilst doing it

Isn't it hilarious how some of the pathetic keyboard warriors take any opportunity to abuse posters who have a different opinion to them. What is wrong with just saying 'I disagree because...'... or even just 'you're completely wrong because...'.
Personal abuse just shows the nasty bullying nature of some peoples weak sad character.
For the record I do not rate various jockeys and trainers. You're welcome to disagree.

He’s never looked a natural in the saddle tbh….I don’t think he’s grade one,posh boy riding for posh people works in this game….

Amateur look is still there tbh…..

I wonder why he has won so many Grade 1s then Quixall? Btw Spurs, you can dish it out as a keyboard loser but don't like it yourself why is that?

I think you’re right,OP.Haven’t trusted this yard since the Binocular affair.And look how many fiascos there have been since then,most recently of course,Constitution Hill.

Cag,how many grade 1 have been point in the right direction and sit tight ?

Godolphin….

Coolmore….

Bla Bla Bla an endless list of average getting the luck of the draw……

Try looking at his CV.You don't get to ride the horses he does
if your no good,posh or not.

Each to their own but I think young Bowen is a better rider……

All the James Bowen lovers have obviously forgotten his cretinous ride on tdys winner at Huntingdon last year. I haven't and thought again tdy how the hell did he ever get that beat....

Quixall slags Nico and then quotes the two big flat yards as a yardstick and states point and shoot? Can't remember Nico having any such for them and plenty of obstacles to jump in his " Point and Shoot " career?

jockeys are sportsmen/women. they make mistakes. ive seen mo salah miss a penalty kick. ive seen tiger woods take 6 on a hole. no sportsmen/women go through their career never having made mistakes.

Referring to most riders Cag…..chief work riders mostly give the go ahead when the horse is ready to win on the snaff…

The ones lucky enough to wear the silks get the easy job…

I would trust Nico to point your truck in a straight line better than you could any  perceived point and shoot horse tbh Quixall, the easiest thing I ever did was passing my HGV 111 at 17 and then pointing and shooting. Much easier than riding my hunters 30 miles from where you are!!

He may not be the best ever jockey but when one short priced ride finishes last and then the next one wins like the best novice chaser in GB, you have to question what is going on in the yard, not the quality of the rider. Mind you I could not for the life of me see how Thats Life was evens when the RPRatings were more or less the same for all 4 runners.

Helps if you have a clue tbh Sagey, getting a horses name right is often a pointer to credibility? HTH

LoL ffs….what did you do with the class 3 Cag ?

I think you know which horse I meant. And please tell me if you have a a reason to think Thats Nice would ever beat any of the other three regardless of course or jockey. The race it won at Warwick was a really poor mares only!

Quixall,got my Class 1 after towing a 105 MM Howitzer with a one ton Landrover (aged 19) from Donnington to Colchester and decided I preferred helicopters at 657 Sqn AAC, McMunn Bks!!

No argument here Sage, I had around £70 on the second and knew my fate early!!

I was 33 years hauling high octane……retired unblemished…..

I was flying with your high octane aka avgas and avtur aged 19 Quixall and pointing missiles, so cannot compete but tbf better than riding horses like Nico and less dangerous imvho?

Kerosene….high standard….

Regular would heat the military homes…..

Paraffin Quixall!!

Same thing….

Aviation fuel is higher octane kerosene…..

Maybe you are confused with boom boom boom boom Esso blue …..

Never would have guessed, do you think we never knew the difference between a Scout and a Gazelle?

It is why we had to dip every delivery by dipsticks, pardon the pun and continued throughout my career!!

I met a few dipsticks in military sites tbh……

Pioneer Corps maybe, you would have failed the basic even for them!!

Couldn’t have military life to honest….all that bawling and shouting…..

Bit of a loner me,hence the driving life no one squawking in my ear…..quiet and peaceful…..

I prefer the Davie no mates tbh…

Constitution Hill is doing good. He's every chance of making the X'mas Hurdle at Kempton. ????????

Moron impossible, you stated NH should shut up and do no updates, that is fact ,as is it would make no difference to you or the other poster boys for the GC, you and they need help and it does not involve the betting industry.

Elliot was going to put Nico up on one of his, if his own jockeys had not made it time from Ireland last week.

it would have been the JP one tbf, but these owners rarely put jockeys own that they think are *****  Bowen is a very good jockey too..Most of them are these days compared to NH jockeys of 40 years ago.

Nice schooling gallop on Spirit of Legend at Leopardstown. Granted his jumping was iffy but whenever he threatened to pass a horse, the rider took him back.

3.45pm Cheltenham - Finding a way to lose. I'm sure someone on here knows how to say that in Latin because that should be on Nico's DB's posh family crest. He was cruising around on Joyeuse but in the straight allows himself to get boxed in and the winner had got first run on him and the rest as usual is history. I do not understand how Henderson can go from having a stable jockey as brilliant as Barry G to Nico. The only explanation is that Nico is his posh boy mate.
p.s someone below said he looks like an amateur jock riding. Thats maybe too kind.

everything was cruising round including the ambulance with its handbrake on and the 66,s shot,hence the winner sprinting away on the snaff,and the fav finishing no further in front of the other 10 than he had been all the way round

1st time poster ..... I agree but Nico always finds a way to lose. He is an amateur quality jock riding for a big time stable. Joyeuse was in a good position at the turn so why with a ton of horse under him didn't he make a move then? Nico has no tactical nous nor can he recognise when the pace is too slow or too fast. One of the worst jocks I've ever seen at the elite level.
A question to anyone on here who rates him. If Henderson retired tomorrow would another big stable pick Nico up? Not a chance. He would have to retire as well.

average jocks would rather  give themselves brownie points for been last off the bridle rather than attempting a race winning move which might result in them losing the race,if their last of bridle and lose they hide behind/blame the horse,lack of pace,no run etc,etc
