There was a poster here earlier in the year who was always slagging off Shishkin before he got banned. I wonder what he was thinking today? I hope he did not lay him!
I am not sure. All I can remember is he was very anti-Shishkin and became quite aggressive whenever anyone told him he was talking rubbish.
lol of all the horses to be anti, very hard horse to fault. The guy probably just hated his life

Just saw your second post, Nathan. Is he now Troy?
The result, weights carried and ORs going into the race suggests Greaneteen has run a bit below form, but the rest are where you’d expect.
Shishkin is a good horse, but it’s not been possible to rate him above 169 so far.
Shishkin devotees best not ask what OR Sprinter Sacre achieved for fear of feeling unwell upon receiving a reply.
Still time for Shishkin to improve on that number, though.
Meeting – then beating – better horses helps.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"“Clarence House is what, three weeks from the Desert Orchid?
Game Spirit is what, three weeks away from the Champion Chase?”
There’s always the Dublin Racing Festival. Perfick. Come on Nicky you know it makes sense 😉
The name of the anti-Shishkin poster was Shipithollabolla. After he won his prep race at Doncaster, he said the horse was deeply unconvincing and a poor jumper.
I’m certainly not anti-Shishkin, but I think he pretty much ran to his OR of 169 yesterday and I never take much notice of hyperbole (talk isn’t form) from trainers about how much improvement there is to come.
He was getting 3lb off the runner up, btw.
You can only beat what’s put in front of you and he might improve further, but if 169 is as good as he is then historically he is vulnerable.
That might be good enough to win the 2022 Champion Chase, but to feel sure I’d rather see him delivering ratings in the Altior territory.

Willie Mullins has confirmed that Energumene is being aimed at the Clarence House, so it’s 100-1 that Shishkin goes there.
