Nicky Henderson & the 'little happy' tablets that keep him going

Hughie Morrison's horse, Constitution Hill, will race against Epatante on Saturday. The trainer, Nicky Henderson, takes sleeping pills every night without fail for the last 20 years. Constitution is one of 150 thoroughbreds in Hendo's care. He got some help from a London doctor. He is red-hot favourite to win the Champion Hurdle at Cheltenham. It comes seven days after his non-runner fiasco at Ascot.

Remember to gamble responsibly. Establishes time and monetary limits before playing. Gambling is not worth it if one is upset, angry or depressed.

Nicky Henderson has a gambling policy. He only gambles with money he can afford to lose and he doesn't chase his losses.
