  • Wouldn’t touch Shiskin with a barge pole for any race

    Comment


    • Nicky's always got something down a horses throat or arse so I'm just surprised it's took them this long to find it.

        • French Dynamite to run in Horse and Jockey at Thurles before deciding on Ryanair bid.

          • Not sure what the best thread is for this but RP reporting Shishkin to be aimed at either the Game Spirit or Denman Chase next.

            • Chacun @25's for this (14s with PP) - Anyone interested? Appreciate he hasn't performed when over in the UK yet but he was travelling well last year before Patrick unseated. I could also be forgiving of his Sandown run last season with it being first time up and bad ground. I personally feel the step up to 2 and a half is worth exploring and on his peak form he likely has too much class for all except Allaho (who there is also doubts about this time around)

              Edit - Also 16s available NRNB. What price if he lines up on the day? With/Without Allaho?

                  Over 20k I think. Could face Edwardstone again if they go for the Game Spirit.

                    Clutching at straws and pocket talk but would love it if we had the old Shishkin back and supplemented!

                    Hendo:

                    "Maybe he'll come back from this issue and I'll find out he's a two-miler, in which case I've got him in all the wrong races."

                      Started to lose confidence in Hendo 2-3 years ago... he's certainly coming out with c*** now isnt he

                        If Hendo suggested supplementing I would imagine it would happen

                        • Entering him in the Gold Cup but not the Champion Chase was always a bit stupid like.

                          I'm not having him back though.

                          • Talking of supplements, what price edwardstone gets supplemented for this if energumene comes over for the clarence house and smashes him? Couldn't believe didnt get an initial entry myself, afterall king did mention the possibility of stepping him up at the start of the season. Shame hes not priced up with hills, would have been a nice related bet there...

                            • I think the QMCC has shown in the past to not be scared of one horse, even if that horse has beaten you before. Anything can happen in those top class 2n chases and one mistake can end your chances.

                                He'll still go Champion Chase. Cheltenham is completely different to Ascot so whatever the result there, we could get a different one in March.

                                He simply won't get smashed by Energumene though. He may get beat by him but smashed.....no.
