Henderson not ruling out running Sprinter Sacre again this season

Trainer Nicky Henderson has not ruled out running Sprinter Sacre again this season after the superstar’s heart problem righted itself.

The brilliant seven-year-old was found to be suffering from an irregular heartbeat after he was pulled up by Barry Geraghty on his seasonal return in Friday’s Desert Orchid Chase at Kempton.

Sprinter Sacre returned to Henderson’s Seven Barrows base on Friday night but was sent to Newmarket for assessment by Celia Marr, a specialist in equine internal medicine and cardiology, on Saturday.
