Does engerumene like Cheltenham ….. One question shiskin doesn’t need to answer , I’m still confident he,ll do the business
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
January 30, 2021 at 13:45 #1520429Nowt going to beat that , he,s different gravy
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
January 30, 2021 at 13:48 #1520431Dont think any other horse in this has his combined speed and engine.
January 30, 2021 at 13:48 #1520432Very nice. Lovely neat quick and efficient over the last 3 in particular and no sign of the back end corkscrewing that he had done at times before. He’s a beautiful smooth striding horse too.
I hope Energumene wins well at the DRF then…bring on the clash!!!
January 30, 2021 at 13:48 #1520433As close to a certainty as you can get. Energumene and Allmankind will give him a nice lead to between the last two, then it’s game over.
January 30, 2021 at 13:49 #1520434Don’t care how good the Mullins horse is – he is not going to beat Shishkin. Never out of second gear and his jumping is rock solid.
January 30, 2021 at 13:51 #1520436Eldorado Allen is decent and Shishkin just cruised away in a schooling canter. Impressed.
January 30, 2021 at 13:54 #1520438Tizzard yard is turning the corner , might be the time to start playing some of his horses , out of 2nd gear …he looks like he,s schooling out there

January 30, 2021 at 14:15 #1520450Close the thread or rename it ‘arkle 2021 – betting without the favourite’
January 30, 2021 at 14:18 #1520453His jumping down the straight reminded me of footpad
January 30, 2021 at 15:08 #1520474Deeply unconvincing again for me – shoddy jumping in the first half of the race and off the bridle on the home turn. Again found the turbos and made it look cosy by the line but will have more than a sick Tizzard horse to worry about in the Arkle. It’s a shame Cheddleton didn’t take part today, fancy he might have turned the upset.
Worrying shapes Shishkin was making, wonder if he has a back problem.
January 30, 2021 at 15:45 #1520483If he has a back problem, I would like to see him when he is OK.
One or two scratchy jumps in the early part of the race but I think you are exaggerating to say it was shoddy.
And I am not really bothered about him having to be chased along for a stride or two. If anything I prefer to see that. Not a fan of bridle horses. They often find nothing. He finds plenty.
January 30, 2021 at 15:58 #1520486Ship what race were you watching …back problem …sick Tizzard horse ? , he was never remotely off the bridle
Pick 3 on Saturday champion 2025/2026
January 30, 2021 at 16:02 #1520489Has ship backed the Mullins horse by any chance?
January 30, 2021 at 16:33 #1520494If every horse I bet jumped like Shishkin did today I’d certainly be making a lot more profit. His jumping was very good in the main.
The problem is some people make an opinion of a horse at an early stage and it’s hard for some people to admit they are ever in the wrong. The horse couldn’t be any more impressive his whole career and will win the arkle comfortably and probably go on the win the queen mother the following year but ship will still be unconvinced 😂January 30, 2021 at 16:43 #15204988/1 now to win this year Arkle and Champion Chase 2022
I had a bit of that bet at 33’s
plus 100/1 same bet plus Envoi Allen to win MarshGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
January 30, 2021 at 17:02 #1520508Imagine if we had Shishkin versus Envoi Allen in the Arkle. Marsh Chase my arse.
