Luckily enough I had to google that. Seeing as you seem to be the expert OTB, is there a connection between erectile dysfunction and Urinary incontinence ? Wetting oneself is bad enough without having the risk of a limp mickey hanging over you !:blink: :p
 
Sure did - and very apt it is, too. In two hours' time I'll be sitting down to watch the matinee of Brighton's gay panto... yes, you guessed. Dick Whittington. Boom-boom!

I'm no doctor but it works for me.....:lol::lol:
 
On the RP site today, readers are asked to put questions to Nicky Henderson with the best ones being published in the paper on Saturday.
This one caught my eye - do you think it will be picked?
"Are you happy now that YOUR desire to win at all costs has cost your vet his livelyhood, and blackened the reputation of your 2 assistants who have been made the fall guys?"
 
They had one a couple of weeks ago with him for the Chelters supplement where similar questions were asked but unsurprisingly ignored.

It'll be the usual what's your favourite Cheltenham winner and do you think Binocular can equal See You Then's three CH's?

I think the most controversial question we've had in any of those so far was someone asking Jenny Pitman last week about Golden Freeze.
 
Not toadying, in fact, but best of all is the Grauniad's banner above the article for - without intending the slightest irony - the Ethical Awards 2011!

Thanks, Gus.
 
Points 32 to the conclusion are incontrovertibly damning, and Point 32 does not hedge its bets in including Henderson in the collusion to cover up the injections over a period of years via the fake 'pre-race checks' - a "protocol to conceal", etc.

Mr Symonds says he called the vet out on the instruction of Mr Henderson. And Henderson went on to fume to the Press that he expected a member of staff to know if the treatment was legal or not? He instructed a pupil assistant, whose own future will be forever tainted by this wretched episode, to call the vet to administer a very specific drug, not to just wander out for a pre-race check.

The more one reads this, the more despicable this highly-placed vet and highly-regarded trainer become. I'm surprised that the Queen seemingly raises no objection to this collusion by retaining any animals with him. Just as well they didn't bring disgrace to one of Henry VIII's horses - he'd have had them hung in irons.

Looks like the Authority has lost its rag with him. "Chaotic" - is that a euphemism for "wilfully concealed"?

Apparently not - I did a preview with Paul Struthers on Monday night, and he described the Seven Barrows operation as a "shambles" in terms of record keeping (off air, of course). Of course, that might be what they're meant to believe, but the latest cases suggest more incompetence than conspiracy.
 
Don't know if anyone has mentioned it but Hendersons admission that he backed stable to have no winners at 16/1 is a potential banana skin.Does he deserve the full Harry Findlay treatment.

Honestly, you couldn't make it up about Henderson, could you!!

What a prat.

Unfortunately a prat who now has the Gold Cup to his list of wins, although I bet every drug test known to the pharmaceutical world will be done on LONG RUN !
 
Who cares if Gillespie thought it was ok, this is far more damaging to Henderson than anything else that has happened over the last year or two. Laying your horses to lose is against the rules. If you believe you won't win, then you are laying it to lose. He could be in serious trouble with this one and nothing will protect him from this.
