I think its admirable what Henderson is trying to do, the racing public love a superstar and right now one of the very best is Sprinter Sacre. It's almost as if Henderson is planning the fairytale perfectly. The horse of a lifetime has a heart problem, he may never run again but is somehow slowly brought back after a year off. He then gets beat on his comeback but shows more than enough to prove he could be the same horse again. At Cheltenham he brings the house down by winning the Champion Chase for a second time before retiring him safe and sound, what a day that would be!

First of I hope u going to report Henderson to the BHA for non triers because u said he was just running him for fun, all horses are suppose to run on their merit's. Secondly how was it that he started favourite, if everyone knew he wasn't going to win then no one would have touched him and he would have started 100-1. . He's going straight to Cheltenham but it's health dependent, what got doubt's on that score have u.
After Denman was beaten in his comeback( I hated every second of that race) to a horse he would have beaten in his sleep Madison and it was painful watching him there after because u knew it was not the real horse. I've been watching racing since 1985 and the sport is full of top class horses trying to beat the injury bug and never really getting it back what they had.
I don't class it fun when they comeback and u can tell they not the horse they once was, I find it painful. I've never heard a trainer say that their horse has lost it before a comeback and they will never say it after the first race, they will always say he wasn't 100% fit and he's going to get better and over the next few weeks we will hear the trainers say's he's improved from the run and he's getting back to his best and 9 times out 10 that never happens . Usually it will take the trainer 2 or 3 run's to find out that the old warrior doesn't have what it once had.
I'd say he ran a bit better than Big Bucks did on his comeback and his camp said all was well but we knew what happened at the festival and if the same thing happens at this festival then it's time to let the horse have a happy retirement.

Perhaps the horse just has enough ability to win the champion but I doubt it.

BTW after u first line I will doubt anything u got to say ever again

100/1?? How is that possible? I think every layer or decent punter thought if you were going to get him beat, Saturday was the day. But if you'd offered me 2/1 I would have taken it. Evens or slight shade of odds on was the right price.

He wasn't working that well up till December and since then he has been much better. The racecourse gallop was to get him jumping at pace and experience a day at the races again, not to get him fit. He will come on a lot for Saturday but if he is as good as he was we will have to wait to see. I have my doubts and im sure everyone does but I hope he wins the Champion by 10.

You seem to have an obsession with top horses being retired and have been wrong several times. They only really gave Big Bucks one real chance, the run in the World Hurdle, and after that correctly retired him. The horse came to no harm and connections thought it was right to give him that chance. Denman was never a flashy worker, most relentless gallopers aren't, so it was difficult to see how good he still was at home. I think it was worth taking the chance on the racecourse to see if he was. He wasn't and was duly retired.

Treve for a third Arc next year?

the mugs thought it was free money seeing evens, was an easy lay for the the bookies and they still backed it into 4/6

I thought they should have retired Treve as well to be honest, didnt look the same filly and probably still wasnt when she won a bad arc with a nice trip.

I wouldnt have two bob on Sacre or Sire De Grugy for Cheltenham, physically they have no chance.
