Re: Horse Racing
HENDERSON PLEASED WITH SUPER SIMON.

Quote:
Nicky Henderson endured another frustrating morning but after finally getting to gallop Simonsig, he described the grey's work as "simply fantastic".
An odds-on favourite to follow up his victory in the Neptune Novices' Hurdle 12 months ago with a win in next week's Racing Post Arkle, Simonsig had been due to gallop at Newbury on Sunday morning with some stable companions.
However, an unexpected frost threw those plans into disarray and Henderson rearranged the work for Monday morning only to find the track had suffered the same fate again overnight. He was forced to head back to his Lambourn base with Simonsig and Grandouet, one of his Champion Hurdle hopes.
