    I am starting to think that Shishkin v. Energumene could very well be the race of the festival. Energumene blasting off from the front with Shishkin sitting on his tail waiting to pounce….if he can.

    This race just proved that the result of Tingle Creek (with the top two blowing out) was not up to the usual level of the race. For me Greaneteen is a solid G2 horse that unless the more fancied horses underperform he is handily put in his place in G1 company.

    🤢🤢🤮🤮
    Did the milk not work
    Maybe add a little strawberry powder

    Nicky for sure knows best, that is why he trains horses.

    “Anyone can train Sprinter, Altior and Shishkin”

    Get on and do it then

    Reminds me of people saying the only thing Beckham can do is cross it
    If that was the case why can’t they get close enough to block the cross.. :good:

    It is so impressive the way he finishes his races. I genuinely think he will power clear of Energumene if they meet.

    I can’t really get excited about these theoretical clashes tbh.

    I will get interested at the 48-hour stage if they both show up.

    One of them won a Point-to-Point at Larkhill btw.

    A stupid opinion to make on a horse racing forum.

    So…

    When a horse has a bad scope it makes sense not to run. Otherwise runs the risk of both the horse losing and setting it back. ie Running a horse with a virus means it will in all probability be off for longer than would be the case if missing the race.

    Shishkin is both seen in 2021 and wins impressively.

    What’s the problem?

    Get over it.

    “A stupid opinion to make on a horse racing forum”

    More factual than a opinion to be fair

    This forum does like Hendo-bashing.

    Ah, its one of those opinions everyone knows who thinks they are smart. You were there yourself Ginge with Champ, before you decided to get back in to arse licking mode.

    The forum likes Hendo bashing and trainer/jockey bashing generally.

    But while I don’t always agree with it I defend the right of non trainers and non jockeys to criticise trainers and jockeys.

    Those making a living in the public domain must expect flak – it goes with the territory.

    Whether one is a fan of Hendo or not, there’s no denying that he’s always a thorn in the side of the Mullins’ force when it comes to the big stage. What he did to bring Sprinter Sacre back to champion status was a masterstroke of training.

    There is set to be another outing before Cheltenham, although Henderson believes Ascot may arrive too early and equally feels Newbury’s Game Spirit Chase could come too close to Cheltenham.

    You’ve got to love Nicky Henderson!

    Henderson reckons Christmas comes too soon after Bonfire Night. Ginge and Nathan would shuffle after him on all fours and insist on the calendar being altered.
