I didnt know this and must have missed this news when he first went into the Veterinary hospital... Taken from the BBC website... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/horse-racing/24629281 I hope he pulls through...
Only just saw this, hope he pulls through - one of the greatest chasers I have ever witnessed and his 2nd Henessey would probably go down as my favourite race EVER - drama, exhilaration, the spectacle of this awesome thoroughbred with his prodigious leaps, a great commentary from Simon Holt and the roar of the crowd ........................ simply awesome and I don't mind admitting it still brings a lump to my throat to watch it. All the very best for The Tank.
They've only announced it today, so you haven't missed the news. Sounds very serious and as if they didn't think he'd pull through. Fingers crossed for him.
Missed this news and thanks for posting Red. Them Henessey victories were special but I was there for his gold cup win and I never tire of watching that. I still think what the **** is Sam Thomas up to when he charges off at the start of the second lap.
Fingers crossed for The Tank. "Sam Thomas, Ruby Walsh! A Score to be settled.. ...And it's Denman, ELEVEN STONE TWELVE, one of THE great performances of jumps racing history."
He was good alright.................................but no KAUTO STAR Best wishes to him as he deserves a long and happy retirement
Someone have a look at this for goodness sake. Simon Holt outstanding. [video=youtube;rqXYLyy7JmM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqXYLyy7JmM[/video]
After the 4th last: "He's gone 3 lengths clear, and suddenly they're at it in behind" "Ooooh you won't see scenes like this at Newbury for many a year" - how true. That upload looks familiar
Paul Nicholls post race interview after that 2nd Hennessy - never seen him so emotional [video=youtube;htN40ZeZTjY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htN40ZeZTjY[/video]
