Rogers asked for the ‘B’ sample to be tested at a different laboratory, and it came back negative. The IHRB case was subsequently dropped. Rogers has initiated legal proceedings against both BHP and the IHRB. Forced to miss Newbury’s Game Spirit Chase at the weekend due to a sore hind leg, Henderson’s hugely exciting novice, and Arkle Trophy favourite, faces a race against time to squeeze in a warm-up race before the festival.
Henderson is keen to give Sir Gino some much needed experience before Cheltenham but his options are limited to Saturday week’s Pendil Chase at Kempton and a minor event at Bangor.“One or two people that remember what went past have said they can remember three horses that have won the Arkle on only their second run over fences, so that gives me hope. As if that is desperately the case, that is what we might have to do,” said Henderson.
“He had an antibiotic on Friday night. Yesterday he’d gone two steps forward and we’ve lost one of those steps this morning, but that’s the way it is, and we can only play it as it is,” he added.
