Henderson just said Shishkin has passed away due to broken leg. He got cast in his stable and broke his hind leg
VF x
Horrible news.
I was privileged to see Shishkin win at Aintree last year. A great horse who put in some wonderful performances over the last few seasons
Even being in it’s stable can’t guarantee a horses safety.
Made me do a double take this what incredible sad news.
The things I want most in life are the things that I can't win.
What an awful sad week it’s been … and now Shishkin … cast in his box … heartbreaking for all who cared for him and his numerous fans … 💔 😢
Very sad to learn this news. I am so sorry for his connections.
He was a great favourite of mine. He did me a good turn when he won the Supreme and I enjoyed watching him win at Aintree last year.
He was a character and you never quite knew what you were going to get with him but he was a high class horse. His big race record is impressive: Supreme, Arkle, Clarence House, Ascot Chase, Aintree Bowl. Such a pity he did not get a chance to run in the Gold Cup and was arguably unlucky in the King George.
Farewell Shishkin and thank you for so many racing memories.
Just dreadful news.
As is often the case with horses who appear to find it all very easy early in their careers, I became fonder of Shishkin once he had his ups and downs and showed some quirks. But he was a star throughout his career, and showed top-class form time and again.
What an awful end to a very difficult season for the Henderson stable.
RIP Shishkin
Damn, just seen the headline on the RP website and quite frankly I couldn’t wrap my head around this shocking news for several moments.
Thoughts with all his connections, especially the groom.
Thanks for the memories, RIP Shishkin
Whaaaat? This is just too bad to be true. Only a few hours ago I was delighted to read that Nicky had him ready for the GDC clash. No matter how much people might dislike a trainer, he and his staff didn’t deserve this. Can a season get any worse?
Poor Shishkin, what a tragic loss. He was such a high class performer over the years and I also liked his attitude. Just thinking about the PU in the 2022 CC or when he refused to race at Ascot earlier in the season. Surely a huge loss for all involved.
May he rest in peace
Sad news for everyone concerned. Been a top class racehorse and gone too soon. RIP.
Such a shock to read this, and a desperately sad end to a pretty miserable season for Nicky and his team. RIP Shishkin.
Oh no I can’t believe I”m reading this horrible news..
We have these beautiful souls for such a short time it must have been devastating to find him like that.
Rest in peace beautiful Shiskin 💔 you will never be forgotten. 🥲So sad for Nicky Henderson, his staff and all connections. This is the worst end to a tough season for the yard and the entire jumps season.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Just seen this, couldn’t believe was seeing his name here.
Absolutely tragic and shocking news. What a devastating loss, heartfelt condolences to all his connections, especially those who cared for him daily.
RIP beautiful boy.
