Sir Gino walked onto the Ambulance

great news

Hopefully.  Looked like a tendon to me - very hard to fix 100%.

honcho a verternarian now ffs

Fabulous. Thought hed broke a leg as couldnt put foot to floor when pulled up

At least great news if not a fatal one though.

You certainly wouldn't want Hendo picking your lottery numbers

Confirmed fractured pelvis. Looking on the bright side at least the horse is still alive.

And just to add as I mentioned earlier on another thread the horse, imop, wasnt right once they went out the far side. He looked very nervy at the next two hurdles. Earlier I put it down to him still not getting his head around being hurdling again. Now Im more inclined to think the injury may have started at this point before breaking altogether.

What an utterly stupid post,MJK

Blocked him years ago irons.  Offers nothing to the forum imo.

And yet you always follow my posts for someone who 'blocked' me. Very odd that?

Irons I dont want to get into a slagging match, you seem to want that with anyone who doesn't have the same opinion as yourself.

What you posted was fanciful dross,MJK.
No doubt you actually believe it to be true.
No argument sought here

Henderson shared the update via his X account on Saturday evening, hours after Sir Gino had left the racecourse in a horse ambulance with his condition unclear.


"Sir Gino was transferred from Cheltenham to the Three Counties Veterinary Clinic and following scans and x-rays he does have a fractured pelvis but having spoken to the great team that are caring for him they are hopeful that although this is obviously significant they have reported that he is comfortable and stable," said the trainer.


"This is great news to us all. The prognosis is guarded and further examinations over the next few days while he is there will be able to determine the extent of the injury and any prognosis for the future.


"Thank you to everyone for their messages and concerns which are much appreciated and we will keep everyone up-to-date with any further news but the fact that he's comfortable tonight is the most important thing."

Thanks to NH and to you tictacman1 for keeping us informed.  It is appreciated.

Fighting an infection now
That poor hoss.

Sir Gino is fighting an infection after fracturing his pelvis in the Unibet Hurdle, Nicky Henderson said on Thursday.

The outstanding hurdler was set to put the finishing touches to his Champion Hurdle preparations when injured at Cheltenham last month. Now secondary complications are troubling his recovery.

Speaking after winning the Listed Sidney Banks Hurdle with Act Of Innocence at Huntingdon on Thursday, Henderson said: "He’s not had too much luck and if ever a horse deserved luck, it’s him. You’ve got the best horse in the world and you can’t do anything about it; he’s just so good.

"It’s worrying them a bit at the moment. His fracture is fine, but it’s an internal infection that he’s got. It’s moving to a different battlefield."
