Shiskin out! “horse not quite right” according to NH.
Race is over two weeks away. Surely more to it than that?
“Surely more to it than that?”
Yes there was a rumour that another graded horse might turn up, perhaps even more than one. Some of the entries were over 150 rated or so I heard. It would be absolutely crazy running Shishkin against them at this early stage of the season, there are 14 whole weeks between this race and Cheltenham- that’s nearly a year.
I didn’t dare suggest anything along those lines Green. But now you come to mention it…
Henderson is tedious. Shiskin is predictably the new lesser-spotted Altior.

Disappointed, but not a surprise. I’m not sure what the answer is. If there is a genuine issue, then fine – but it appears to be history repeating.
“Win and you’re in” is unlikely to be possible, there’d be uproar. But I do think they have to look at making horses qualify in some way.
So all willie had to do to win the tingle creek was mention running CPS or energumene, will probably send easy game over now lol
Just performing the old Altiour routine.

Its disgusting the BHA don’t have a Grade 1 only for Henderson trained horses. This competetive racing before March malarkey is seemingly old hat.

Does seem a bit odd to have made the decision this soon and not waited until this time next week for the ‘spark’ to maybe return. Disappointing for the race.
Nicky will do what’s best for his horse
His Champion Chase record speaks for itself
Is a shame though but not the most surprising newsGaelic Warrior Gold Cup Winner 2026
IMO Hendersons obsession with gaining headlines for himself in March has become toxic for the sport of Jumps Racing.
If you were in a position to make a decision, would you take the decision to pay a vast sum to sponsor a race like the Tingle Creek? With high profile people like Henderson basically admitting they couldn’t care less about the race?

If he keeps this up in a few years time his grade 1 horses will be running at the festival first time out …..

He’s probably still got the Altior/Cyrname race in his thought process. Can I suggest he don’t want to go to war with a Mullins horse first time and, in his mind, ruin his season?
If it ultimately helps him win the Champion Chase, then fine by me. ;o)
