Checked my cash out, looked on here, checked cash out again and suspended already. At least I backed Shishkin as a bit of cover earlier in the week and managed to get some on the PP 11/1 double before that went too
 
Ah feck - savage 24 hours. Absolutely no financial interest in the horse but this was shaping up to be something special.
 
I had no financial investment in Energumene but i'm a racing fan and that is an absolute sickener for what was one of the best clashes of the week, if not the best. Bloody hell.
 
Absolute fucking sickner, financially and for the arkle itself.
 
There’s always one isn’t there when you look forward to a big clash
Have to pray Shishkin stays sound now at least
 
This one horse hurts more that all the gigginstown lastnight. Absolutely gutted.

Been pretty defensive with my bets this week and cashed quite a few for profit before re-backing NRNB. Did it with Shishkin but not Energumene... :beaten:
 
Whoever it was put up the Cross Country at 20s as the biggest winning distance race might want to have a small cover on this race now....
 
Sickening for all those on Energumene.

Although I'm heavily into Shishkin I would rather have seen him clash with Energumene and have a proper head to head.

Franco deport 16s each way 3 places probably appeal might only be 4 or 5 runners in this

This sums up my feelings (and bare in mind there’s plenty of time for something to happen to Shishkin yet!)
Ive mentioned before haven’t really got into racing this year and as such my antepost book is pretty much just doubles involving Shishkin BUT I’d much rather have seen this clash, to see if he was good enough! Be some turn up when Allmankind makes all and wins.......

that was my first port of call when the news broke
 
Dont care about the financial side of it, shishkin a much better win for me financially but all i wanted to see was the clash, absolutely gutting.
 
Disappointed. But have lots of multiples with Shishkin at what now looks an amazing price.
