    Hi Nicky,

    Just wondered if you had an update on A Media Luz? I was very impressed with her comeback this season and most disappointed (as I’m sure you were!) that she had to be withdrawn on her next engagement. I’ve noticed she’s been entered for 3 races since, but been pulled out at final dec stage. Is she an intended runner in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury? If not, when might we see her again and is she being aimed at one of the Cheltenham races? Any info would be much appreciated.

    Hi Mr Henderson,

    I was just wondering what has happened to Punchestowns, as he has not run since April, will he be due for an outing this season?

    Yours curiously

    Thankyou.

    Afternoon,

    Congratulation on the 7 winners, amazing effort to do. I was just wondering how Oscar Whiskey was doing after his fall at ascot the other day, he is a top class hurdler and what his next target is to get his winning streak back on track!

    Many Thanks

    Hi Nicky,
    I follow Roger Charltons yard on the flat amongst others and believe you have received one of his long distance runners keys, just wondered how he was schooling and look forward to seeing him on the track.
    Thanks John

  19. graeme hay says:

    can you tell me when dandino will have his first run over jumps, loved this horse on flat and think it could be very good over hurdles. thanks

  20. Chris Trower says:

    Nicky. Just finalising my Ten to Follow. I am stuck between Spirit Son and Oscar Whisky as a hurdling selection alongside Hurricane Fly and Big Bucks. Any thoughts and where would they kick off their campaigns ?

  21. I am intrigued if you are bullish as i am about Ozeta’s first run for you in the Triumph Hurdle Trials this coming Saturday at Cheltenham. This looks a nice filly ?

    Thanks Nicky

  24. John Hayes says:

    Hi Nick

    Big fan of your horses. Burton Port looks a quality animal last seen in last years Hennessy will he be out this year he seems very lightly raced is there an injury issue ?

    Regards, John.

    P.s: Good luck for the season.

    Many thanks .

    Hello Nicky,
    Surfing ran only a few times last year, but is held in high regard by you.
    Will he be running this year and how is he.

    Regards

    Dear Mr Henderson
    A year past late January, the day Lifestyle won its debut bumper, my fiancee Jane and myself came to look at Prince Du Beury: Henry Ponsonby was coming to show us the horse but there was a time mix up. You personally took over the reins( bad pun?) and were most hospitable. Due to a subsequent health blip I decided not to pursue the horse and contacted Henry personally. I sent him a cheque for £100 for his out of pocket expenses but he generously passed it on for your Stable Jockeys fund.
    Congratulations on your excellent season last year. Personally I followed with great interest your quality ex- bumper horse running in novice hurdle races with Cheltenham the pinnacle!
    Bear’s Affair, Fourth Estate, Malt Master, Ericht, Hit The Headlines, Lets Get Serious and Mono Man are obviously examples of a similar harvest for you all in this coming season.
    Thanks! Kenny

    Hi Nicky, not sure you ever get to read these posts, but you never know someone may pass on my regards! I just wanted to say I have worked with two of the greatest Racehorse trainers, one was G W Richards up in Greystoke near Penrith where I worked as a young lad with Big Ron Barry and then JJ O’Neil and Neil Doughty. The other is yourself, again I had the privilege to work with Steve Smith Eccles, and Johnny Francome while you trained out of the Windsor House Stables. I left racing not so long after for a career in medicine, and still reminisce about those times and miss the horses desperately. Good luck for next season!!!

    Dear Mr Henderson,
    My daughter and I came to Lambourne on Friday ,we felt very privileged to be able to look around your lovely yard .We were most impressed with the way the horses looked and their .mental attitude .Having worked with horses in my younger days it was a real blast from the past to see rack chains in all the boxes ,we always used these and the horses were racked up when mucked out and in the afternoons ,something one does not see these days
    A pleasure to see a well run and happy yard.
    Kind Regards,
    Celia Gosling

  32. Jim Noble says:

    Mr Henderson,
    Can you please provide me with the date and other information on your open day
    i have followed your horses since you commenced training and i have always wanted to
    visit your stables now this year i am able to make that visit

    Thanks
    Jim Noble

  33. ravi maraj says:

    thanks very much for removing my comment on the incompetent nicky hendersonwho seems to be untouchable

  34. ravi maraj says:

    why are so many of your ultra short priced favourites beaten easily in their races, this has been going on for years now and if their is a problem why don’t you just shut down your stable rather than continue to burn lots of punters money, trainers like you discourage punters from staying in the game and that can only be to the detriment of racing.

    (edited to remove all caps: its rude and patronising)

  35. alex gormanley says:

    dear sir today i had a phone call from a guy called amond who said he is a freind of patt malloy blood stock agent from irland wanting me to place money for them on one of your horses today city press this guy amond said

  36. john fenwick says:

    well done with long run hope you have more gold cups to come great horse and well done to all

  37. sean berry says:

    Whats your best tip for the cheltenham festival ?

  38. Ian Hall says:

    Hi Mr Henderson,

    I was wondering whether you are going to refund all ante-post bets that have been placed on Binocular in the last two weeks? This is not a small race at a park course, but ante-post favourite for the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham, i’m sure the Bookmakers that are not refunding bets, you’ll be sat at the very top of their Christmas card lists.

  39. mark says:

    could you please tell me whats happening to aegean dawn,as ive noticed hes not in the imperial cup betting nor in the cheltenham betting,hope everthing is ok with the horse

  40. Laura Canning says:
