Sir Gino a non runner, my last standing life changer now wrote off! Agree with segal on the nico point as well, he might be shit at tipping but he tends to say what he thinks and think he is spot on.

In the case of Jonbon, imo Hendo and JP between them decided to not take a chance and wait for Aintree when they would hope the obvious sickness in the yard is over.
I think the yard issues, along with the ground and the fact that it looked like they would probably not win anyway realistically, made them reach that decision.
without the yard issues they would have run as was the original intention.
Thats my thoughts fwiw!!
Also which I forgot to say and imo is important….
JP would have seen what happened with Jeriko and Iberico the day before.
If Henderson trained the likes of Ballyburn, Lossiemouth and state man and they were being pulled up or getting beat 10 lengths then I would agree there's obviously something wrong. But there hasn't been a single run from any horse of his where I've thought "that horse has to have a virus, no other explanation".
So the fact he's pulling his better horses while admitting himself that they appear totally fine and there's no actual reason for it, is insane imo.

People thought they might have improvement in them, but if what they showed before Cheltenham was the best that they're capable of then getting well beat shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. Iberico lord is rated 15lbs and 25lbs off the front two in the champion hurdle, jerikos best run was probably about a 135 performance.

Well, that’s the end of day 3!!
95% of all my bets are focussed on the first 3 days of the festival. So it’s a little bit sad to seeing 0-1 open bets still when I olen io my accounts
fridays are always a challenge, so will withdraw the majority and try and keep what remains
a little bit sad
tired
but one more day… let’s hope for a good one

How these regulated companies can get away with this stuff is scandalous.
The gambling commission are absolutely pointless.
