    • Do we know what time the run out for Nicky Henderson three horses were today including con hill? I received a message from an ex colleague of mine at 8am today he used to give me some really decent info. I have absolutely no idea who his contacts are and how reliable but his info was always very good. He said heads up mate but con hill is not right and highly unlikely to go Cheltenham. I would find it bizarre if the run out was after 8am and he already supposedly knew that, would beg the question as to why Nicky would send him out if all was not well or my guy is talking utter tripe!

        It was around 11am this morning news first broke of his underwhelming run and looking to get scoped. This video of him being jocked up is 10.40ish.

          Which one?

          I got one for Christmas one year and read it cover to cover (It did have a lot of pictures)

                  And then he runs and wins and you all call me out lol. To be honest I haven’t heard from him for a very long time. One memory that sticks in my head is him telling me to put every penny I have on big shu in the cross country and that defeat was out of the question. Unfortunately I didn’t listen to him and only stuck £50 on him at 16/1. I wasn’t part of the forum then but would have loved to have passed it on to you guys.

                      Have you read 'The Triumph of Henry Cecil: The Authorised Biography' by Tony Rushmer?. It talks a lot about Frankel and the influence he had on Cecil when he was really poorly. It's a cracking read it you haven't.

                        From memory, you'd have connections to jockeys or work riders wouldn't you?

                          • Hills had the forecast of Constitution Hill and state man last week at 4/5 and I had a stab at that. If Con hill didn’t turn up would nrnb apply to that bet do you think? Or is that another amount to stick in with my pile of con hill tickets looking very dodgy ha.

                              Called Frankel and written by Simon Cooper
                              Last night he had just won his first Sussex Stakes
