It's Henderson time again

[Euronymous]

Sizing and SS at Sandown would be nice Pre Xmas fodder

Mouth watering. I'm going if they both turn up.

 

[granger]

Am sure PF Nicholls will have something he fancies for this too. Just a matter of getting them all there now

 

[qzy]

Where did you get that by the way? Had a look, didn't see it

Simonsig may be good enough for the Arkle but I think he will be even better over further

Thanks qzy

As in Sprinter Sacre would eat him for breakfast?

Nicholls earmarked Sanctuaire for this recently as well. What a sight that would be seeing those three tearing round Sandown at full pelt

This flat season has been the most boring and uninspiring in recent memory, can't wait for the proper racing to start

I reckon Sprinter will probably want further than 2miles in time, or at least could get further. He showed so much energy and speed last season, but wouldn't want to get too keen over 2miles against first rate opposition such as Sizing. They'll try and pick him off if he does.

And so it begins...

I wake up pinching myself that SS is really as good as I think he is. I cannot see a time when I’d be opposing him wherever he turns up.

The rain and Frankel thumping everything out of sight have no doubt contributed to that. But a Triple Crown winner will surely help to turn things around.

Tend to agree. I'd back him to win the boat race.

 

[SteveM]

:lol: ...you can't rule him out of it.

 

[Cruella]

Well it was founded under Jockey Club rules!

Sprinter Sacre back at the PP meeting at Cheltenham

Sanctuaire due there aswell

Sanctuaire due there aswell

Sanctuaire will beat him at Sandown in the Tingle Creek

 

[granger]

Think I saw pp offering 11/8 that SS goes unbeaten all season

Should be fun to look back this time next year or before and see how much garbage we can spout between now and Cheltenham Here's some crazy prediction or are they?

Sprinter Sacre: Will remain unbeaten over fences start at 1/8-1/10 for the QMCC and become the highest rated horse since the 60's and spark of a debate Arkle V Sprinter Sacre

Simonsig V Overturn will be Sprinter Sacre V Peddlers Cross round 2 with the McCain horse coming out on top this time. Simonsig will take his revenge at Cheltenham and win the Arkle.

Darlan Will win or be placed in the Betfair Hurdle in February but will not be in the first 4 in the Champion Hurdle

Long Run Will be beaten in both the King George and the Gold Cup.

Finian's Rainbow will win the King George and the Ryanair

Riverside Theatre Will be aimed at the Gold Cup but won't get the trip and will have a poor season

Bob's Worth will be the only English trained horse to be placed in the Gold Cup.

Grandouet will be undefeated this season, be fav by the New Year and will win the Champion Hurdle.

Oscar Whisky Will stay hurdling but bypass Cheltenham and win the Aintree Hurdle for the 3rd time

Captain Conan will be a huge disappointment and will not make Cheltenham

Sprinter Sacre was 9/2 Granger PP then offered 14/1 the double to remain unbeaten SS and BB's then the went 10's then they went 8's. The likely cumulative odds if they both ran 5 times is around 20/1

I think we have our winner, don't we? :blink:

9/2 seems more realistic, only saw it in passing

Bighead!......I know you'll win, you always do but you never know I could still finish 2nd this season :lol:

Great post....I really don't get the McCain thing at all. I know he's new and up and coming but he's really not that good

 

[Tanlic]

Thanks.......In comparison to the late and loveable Ginger he's done exceptionally well in a relatively short time.

2008 the yard won about 300,000 pound in prize money which they boosted to 1 million in 2010/11 and 12 which puts him up there with the best.

I personally think he's one of the best around but the proof will be in the pudding over the next 2 seasons when he has to maintain that level.

To get there in the first place he must have a good eye for a horse which is 70% of the battle.......I hope he continues to be successful but it's hard old game to be training winners year in year out and bringing in the right stock to enable you to compete against the Hendersons and PN's of the game.....time will tell

Top trainer and here to stay. Big fan of McCain's and Maguire.
