Supreme Novices Hurdle 2020

[Cashew King]

I am a little bit disappointed Shishkin isn't being aimed at the Kennel Gate. All his 3 runs have come on flat right handed tracks so perhaps they are sending him to Newbury and not Ascot for that reason.

It’ll be interesting to see how Shishkin goes on Wednesday. Enemy Coast Ahead is a possible opponent (does have a Ludlow entry on same day) but he looked just as impressive as Shishkin was when he won his bumper - so might not be a walkover.

Shishkin runs tomorrow against a really well thought of horse in Enemy Coast Ahead.

I’ve added Shishkin here @ 33’s prior to him running tomorrow.

Not played with many in this race yet, Fly Smart the only other really (Jon Snow cashed, Envoi cashed).

Still think there will be at least a couple to impress before a price collapse on debut so happy to add Shishkin at the price. Connections rate the horse a lot and won his bumper really well. If he wins will no doubt half in price.

Shishkin's bumper form is shite isn't it ?
can only beat what's there and did it easily.
But it's shite.
Not really bred for speed either.

I’m not touching him for the Supreme but think he has some potential

It’s not great no but at 33’s worth taking a chance mate.

Bumper to hurdle form is a lot of guesswork to be honest. You just hope one or 2 turn out to worth the punt.

Haven't posted in a long while but came back to the thread as I was interested in what people thought of Shishkin, I remember I posted after his bumper win and someone replied that they reckon he will be aimed at the Ballymore so it's stuck in my head since, I'd like to think that Son of Camas could be one of Nickys for the Supreme and Shishkin for Ballymore?

It's worth a pop yes.
Just trying to avoid backing anymore myself so looking for reasons not to.
I'll probably end up backing it at some point.
Worst yard for hype though. IMO.

Not sure that was ever the gaffer though. (Willie)
Just the owners and hangers on (racing managers ) and forums like this.

We all love a future super star

Can’t say Shishkin has anywhere near the hype of previous hype horses from Henderson, that I can recall anyway.

Last year we were just about to see the supreme winner run at Ascot in angels breath.

Given his price I think that maybe reflects there not being as much hype. We all know hype horses are backed off the board when there’s a mention etc even before they run.

He's had far more hype than Angel's breath had pre run. Angel's breath had none. Wasnt mentioned at all.


Where as the unibet PR man has been posting videos saying here's your supreme winner shiskin

[Humble Pie]

Naivety of betting public, we all like a long priced punt , don’t we, inside info ?
Tongue in cheek comment but come on “ Betting Companies” aren’t there to give anyone winners, an occasional “ sprat” maybe.

Betting Companies have one main priority
Their shareholders

The industry is screwing every last drop out of ......

However we do love NH racing , enhanced by a financial investment

He's been languishing down the bottom of the betting at 33/1 for the last 8 months, what hype?
