Henderson left disappointed when Sir Jino recovered stalls – Irvine Times

A brilliant winner of the pursuit of the Wayward Lad Novices in Kempton, the five -year -old had to be his second resident fence in Game Spirit Chase in Newbury in Sabbath, a race won by the former Seven Barrow stars, and Sprinter Sacre along the ARK route.

Sir Gino, however, was declared a non -participant on Friday after suffering what his coach described as “a small wound on the inside of his nearby back.”

Speaking to Newbury on Saturday, Henderson was optimistic that his accusation would be able to start riding again on Monday, but that now seems unlikely.

“He was not as good as I would hope this morning, I have to admit. It is still a little inflamed, “said the luck coach of racing television on Sunday.

“It’s (a dense wound) and there is just a little infection in it and we just treat it.

“I’m a little disappointed this morning, I have to admit, there is no point in saying something else. I hoped we could even drive it tomorrow (Monday) and right now it doesn’t seem as likely, but we’ll keep everyone up to date. “

The prior to the festival program of Sir Gino is complicated by the fact that after missing Newbury, in the meantime, there is no perfect race.

Stretching two and a half for the pursuit of Pendil Novix on Campon on February 22 is an option, as is a minor race two miles in Bangor, but Henderson is not too keen on the two competitions.

He added: “It’s awful. We would like to desperately encounter him before Chelton, I still think we may.

“One or two people who remember what they were going through, they said they could remember three horses who won Arkle only on their second cycle over fences, so it gives me hope – as if it was desperate, that is what it can To have to do.

“It’s racing, there’s very few. There is Pendil in Campon, which is two weeks yesterday and over two and a half, which I don’t really want to do. The whole point of running in Newbury against the older horses was so that he could get experience with the speed of someone else, not his.

“They have launched a race in Bangor two days after Campon over two miles, but it’s terribly close to Chelton and you can only see him go around on his own if he does it. We can do this at home or hopefully borrowing Racecourses.

“He had an antibiotic on Friday night. Yesterday he went two steps forward and this morning we lost one of these steps, but so we can only play it as he is.

“We have the water path and he loves to play in this, so we can keep him moving and we are still very optimistic that everything will be fine. There is no damage caused, so we will keep you posted. “
