The Nicky Henderson Thread 2018/2019

Interesting to hear the guy who trains Altior say Epatante may be his best chance of the whole meeting. Also, I wasn’t aware that Champagne Platinum was missing the festival entirely.

Yes, virtually every other horse has tightened up what with Vinndication being pulled as well. Santini supposedly worked well yesterday so wonder if all not well this morning.
 
NH just released a statement

[FONT=&quot]Santini lost a shoe yesterday and our vet poulticed it as a precautionary measure. I have been away from the yard today but have spoken to my staff and they report him fine and we see no reason why he won’t run in the RSA. Should that change, I will update accordingly.[/FONT]
 
He should be tubbing (standing in tub of warm water plus handful of ES) it in Epsom salts for a least twenty minutes twice a day. I've had countless horses go lame having pulled a shoe off and it is one of the best treatments to use (as well as poulticing). People forget to use some of the old fashioned methods but they still work. Actually I use same treatment on myself after a days standing/shopping/racing when your feet are completely knackered!
