I'd be in the opposite camp. Do not like wind ops. Don't believe they'd just do it for the sake of it.

Me and Lobos yet again in agreement :cheerful:

Why give the horse a wind op if everything is A1?

Don't like it one bit.

And the little comment from Nicky no balls regarding con hill still having some condition on is already the excuse prepped for when he misses the fighting fifth.

Not seen it myself?

What does it link to?

I think it's about this time that some of the certificates need renewing so it's probably my fault somehow :cower::loyal:

I get it on my mobile only, it just starts flickering and random sites pop up, it scares me so i close it down and shut off my phone.
Chromebook is fine, just the iphone, so don't bother logging in on my phone no more.

I'm certainly not suspicious of you Yosser, can see that in your posts you know your onions.

Wait till he runs Kev. I would be concerned he has been exposed to a virus in the yard and they have deemed it necessary to give him a wind op. A few horses have struggled to regain form when returning from lung infections (not suggesting it was a lung infection but does anyone know exactly what was affecting his horses?).

Yes Darlo, people will start talking about us soon ! :biggrin-new:

The bit I didn't like with Nicky's comment was ...'we feel it might help him'............help him what ? Did he need any help?

You may well be right Jim and Lobos , The way i read it is , they done his wind to help with the Colic issue ??.
and that after the wind op , he's 100 % .., better to do it now before the season starts ..
but i always take what people say as Gospel .. so there might be more to it ..
 
Don't think the wind op is related to colic or his infection BC ? Plenty of trainers just do them for the sake of it which I've never liked. I believe it was looked into how many horses actually improved after the op and it was only a small amount. The majority actually went backwards. We'll know soon enough re CH as the Fighting 5th is coming round fast.

Re the Constitution wind op thing, it didn't harm Sprinter Sacre (3 times), or Altior (2 times), and it's usual MO for Henderson. If people are concerned then so be it. I'll just keep taking the price while they are.

Spectre., as you mention, it’s just a pointless ‘news’ story. If Kyprios can return to near career best form less than a year after facing a life threatening illness, then why on earth wind ‘op’s get people talking negatively,I have no idea. It’s just news to fill news. This time last year he was sitting around 4/5 - the 2/1 (and 7/2) available a few months ago I believe are huge prices.
 
Does anyone know how the handicapper works out the rating for a French import?

I always had it in my head they would times the French rating by 2.2, is this correct?
