    Indeed. No Cheltenham handicap for this fella surely. I see he's now quoted at 12/1 for the World Hurdle which is stretching the imagination a bit. Better off trying the Aintree race
    Seems to me NJH has messed up here. He's quoted in the RP today saying the bad ground has held him up but the horse has shown that to be complete sh*te today IMHO

    He sounds more and more like Ronnie Corbett every time I hear him speak. Sounds like Min is going to live up to his reputation if he going to beat his pair.

    Hope they and Min all make it there and yeah he will need to be a bit special but there's no denying he looks the part.

    NEWSFLASH!!! WPM and Henry De Bromhead have agreed to run UDS and Special Tiara as pacemakers for Sprinter Sacre

    Not sure UDS can go that slow.

    I stopped off at the bookies on the way home this morning to read the Henderson piece [re his Cheltenham hopes]. I have to say I was disappointed.

    He said nothing at all really about anything. Thank God it was only one page.

    He was saying all along it was impossible for the tent to win but possible for Sprinter to win.

    When you see what Tent done yesterday it makes Sprinter look good today. I'd love to see him win it.

    Me too, Sprinter is the cliff horse of the day, my heart is desperate for him to win.

    Fancy hunters hoof today too. Ground against him last time but he's got what he wants today and will progress.

    Yes, I just want to see the best horses win the best races. If it's Un De Sceaux, so be it, but we know Sprinter Sacre's best is 10lbs and more better than anything Un De Sceaux has done so far.

    What a man, what a trainer. That will go down as the greatest training performance ever I think it's safe to say. My Tent or Yours yesterday another testament to your brilliance. There'll be some brandy sunk tonight.

    Nicky Henderson, I salute you.

    Amazing scenes yesterday on course, people in floods of tears, strangers embracing. One of those 'glad I was there' moments.
