2022 Queen Mother Champion Chase

[Quevega]

Do you know what I think would be funny.
If Nicky Henderson came out and said Shishkin was going to Dublin for their grade 1.
Chacun is unlikely to be fit.
Energumene wants softer ground and should run in the clarence house, and the rest are shit.
So it would be an easy opportunity.
Patrick Mullins pretty much admitted they were partly messing with Nicky with the talk of entries in the UK

If I was him he'd at least get an entry tomorrow.

He won't do it though.
Cos he's wet.

[Lobos]

Gowan Hendo get those balls out on the table.....stick it up um !

[Ray]

Unless nicky aint being wet by sticking with the CH entry and hes saying, yeah if your coming for the clarence house then lets have it..i hope we get to see it

Well he’s nothing to be frightened of going to Dublin, he’s the best 2m chaser around anywhere. Well for me he is anyway .
I doubt he’s ever thought about it though. He don’t any other year.
All about Cheltenham for Hendo.
And why not support the British tracks like Ascot and Newbury
They deserve to have our best horses .

And comments like he’s wet ain’t really necessary imo

[Lobos]

The odds definitely suggest Shishkin ain't going anywhere near the Clarence House.

[Lobos]

Game Spirit it is

I thought it was being decided after Nico had a go on him this weekend……yep that’s what he said last Sunday.

Could of been worse.

I could have called him an old, soppy, glassy eyed, wet twat !

However. I'm learning to soften my language these days
So I went with wet.

Ha ha, how very nice of you Mr Q

I hope they meet at Ascot. If Energumene can't beat him at Ascot, he won't beat him at Cheltenham. May as well find out before you go and if Shishkin beats him comfortably, shift Energumene to the Ryanair.

But I doubt Henderson will take up the engagement as the Game Spirit will be easier before Cheltenham. Going to the DRF would probably be the best play though as he gets longer off and likely to get better ground.

Me too, I’m going to Ascot so really hoping to see them
both.

Exactly, it's the perfect gapping that Nicky always talks about.
And would call the Irish bluff.

No hard race before Cheltenham, as that's what will be in their minds if they think about the clarence house.
He won't say it publicly given what's happened but we know he doesn't like giving them a hard race before his main target.
He might do on this occasion to be fair but the bookies don't think he will. And the yard have not steamed in either.

Maybe after the posh boy has sat on him the money will come or not !

If the Dublin race looks a little hotter for whatever reason he can always go game spirit.

4/5 Ascot
6/4 Newbury
10/1 Dublin

4/5 Ascot
6/4 Newbury
10/1 Dublin

If I was you I'd steam into the 15/8 Sky are offering.
And grab any of the 2-1+ on the machines.
Could be the bet of a lifetime.
Especially if Energumene don't travel which is just as likely, as the other runners are all due to run this weekend, so he'd be 1/12 or something daft.
Or it could also be the start of you calling Nicky names

[Lobos]

How would they price Clarence House up if both ran ?? Shishkin would clearly be favourite yeah ??
