Nicky Henderson at last seasons Ascot Chase. A video that does not need fancy words. It is quite simply a man who absolutely adored his horse. Passion, emotion, jubilation all coming together in one clip. I can’t imagine how Nicky & all the team feel today. RIP Shishkin

Tomorrow is a prime example of how and why #Nicholls wraps up the championship year on year, a pretty “run of the mill “ Sat and he will probably pick up 100K plus, it’s what he targets and he’s great at it, whereas #Henderson couldn’t care less (just 1 runner) all about Festival

@PortisRoni @Wimbledon @NickKyrgios @steftsitsipas Good god heard it all now, Nick is a hugely talented player but spent most of the match abusing officials, intimidating his opponent and under the rules should have been disqualified. When he retires he will look back and think how he wasted his talents and will be fairy ashamed.
