Earlier in the week I asked the quiz question on the daily thread, ‘Mr Henderson, the forum’s favourite trainer, runs Taylor tomorrow. But how did Mr Henderson infringe the Rules of Racing with Taylor last week???’ The answer, as already detailed was, ‘Last Monday Mr Henderson entered Taylor in the Listed Mares Hurdle Final at Newbury. However, the entry was refused as she wasn’t eligible to run in the race – I’m pretty certain that was because Taylor had only ran twice over hurdles and mares had to have run 3 races over timber in order to qualify’. There was a bit of a discussion about whose fault this was and I was quick, quicker than an Olympic sprinter who has just taken a ‘special’ tablet in fact, to exonerate Mr Henderson for this error. However, it’s happened again – another invalid entry has been made by Seven Barrows! Jack Frost has been entered to run in tomorrow’s ‘Centreplate Maiden Hurdle’ at Ffos Las. However, old boy Jack Frost isn’t a maiden over hurdles he won over them at Ludlow back in November! Therefore the entry has been ruled invalid and refused. And to make matters worse Jack Frost is owned by Her Majesty, God bless her and save her. What the bloomin' ‘eck is going on?!? Mr Henderson isn’t on holiday by the way and as far as I know he hasn’t lost his specs and is still able to read the small print re race conditions. I’m lost for words. Can any forum member work this one out!
Fairly straight forward I reckon. Large G n T with his eggs Benedict for brekkie. Heavy on the G light on the T.
This is bad, SBC, an intruder in the stable, e.g. a foreign mole? Culprit must be flushed out immediately.
I remember starting the above thread, a few months ago, when there were a spate of Mr Henderson trained horses entered in races they weren’t eligible to run in. Not the great man’s fault, you understand, I’m sure the fault lay with a ‘junior grade’. Well it happened again earlier in the week when the 106 rated Forgotten Voice was entered in Saturday’s ‘Old Borough Cup’ at Haydock Park for animals rated 0-105. The BHA hastily refused the entry. Let’s hope Mr Henderson rebukes the offender with a few stern words.
